OET working group warns of sustained winter peak reliability risks, urges storage and demand response
The Office of Energy Transformation's 'decarbonizing the peak' working group found that as heating electrification grows, reliability risks are shifting from short summer peaks to longer, sustained winter peaks by the 2040s. The group called for storage, demand response, grid integration, and community-centered planning to manage emerging peak patterns, noting that peaker plants will remain critical until scalable, cost-effective alternatives are available.
