Hello GridLabbers,

We are thrilled to announce that the GridPathRA Toolkit and Western US case study are out and on our website at gridlab.org/GridPathRAToolkit<http://gridlab.org/GridPathRAToolkit> !

Links to all the documents- report, fact sheet, code, data, and ESG webinar are all there and below. This is fantastic work by GridLab experts Elaine Hart and Ana Mileva, with helpful technical input from GridLab experts Michael Milligan and Justin Sharp.

There are a myriad of insights from this work and policy-relevant takeaways, ranging from the urgent data needs especially on wind data, to the value of regional coordination, and usefulness of characterizing risk beyond the standard LOLE. Please share widely in your networks!

Best,
Priya

GRIDPATH RA TOOLKIT

Robust and thoroughly vetted resource adequacy analyses will be critical to maintaining reliable supply as the power sector undergoes the clean energy transition. GridLab has released a new report, Advancing resource adequacy analysis with the GridPath RA Toolkit: A case study of the Western US. Stemming from a collaboration between GridLab, Moment Energy Insights and Blue Marble Analytics, the GridPathRA Toolkit supports advanced resource adequacy analysis for the Western United states. It advances the characterization of three phenomena that will be increasingly important for understanding RA in future power systems: weather-driven relationships between load and resource availability; capabilities and constraints of energy limited resources; and transmission flows and regional coordination.

A core purpose of this initiative was to develop an advanced, publicly available, and transparent toolkit for resource adequacy analysis — the Toolkit leverages publicly available data and the GridPath open-source power system platform. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the Toolkit, a Western US 2026 resource adequacy analysis case study was developed. Three portfolio compositions were analyzed to inform near-term planning decisions. The case study describes near-term RA risk, the value of coherent weather datasets, and opportunities for efficient solutions to mitigate RA risk.

The GridPath RA Toolkit refers to both the datasets and the algorithms that were developed to support the 2026 Western US case study, which can be downloaded from the website<http://gridlab.org/gridpathratoolkit>. The Toolkit can be leveraged by regulators, utilities, researchers, and other stakeholders to conduct independent and publicly accessible RA analysis. The GridPath RA Toolkit study was presented at a public webinar hosted by the Energy Systems Integration Group.
