With the pace and magnitude of change across the interconnection, understanding the interdependencies between the natural gas and electric power systems is increasingly critical for grid reliability. For this interactive session, guest speaker, Gary Venz, with Williams’ Northwest Pipeline will share his first-hand experience about natural gas system challenges and the coordination necessary between the two industries to avoid an adverse event that puts lives at stake. We expect the discussion to reveal how WECC might focus its work to ensure collaboration and coordination between industries for the benefit of grid reliability. We invite you to tune in to the Reliability in the West, Discussion Series on September 3 as a primer for this interactive conversation. 

This web-based session will provide an overview of Distributed Generation Groups (DGG) pre-approval. It is recommended for customers who may be interested in participating in DGG the future or are already participating and are looking to expand the scope of their project.
