The Energy Reliability Working Group (ERWG) was formed to combine the expertise of both the Electric Gas Working Group (EGWG) and the Energy Reliability Assessment Working Group (ERAWG).
Under the direction of the Reliability and Security Technical Committee (RSTC), the ERWG is a cross-functional working group comprised of experts in multiple industries within the energy sector, including representatives from fuel supply and delivery chains (e.g., fuel oil and natural gas), and the electric grid. The ERWG is assigned the responsibility to: (i) serve as an informational stakeholder forum open to cross-sector organizations, (ii) facilitate ongoing assessment of energy-related risks to the balance of supply and demand on the Bulk Power System (BPS), (iii) develop documents to clarify energy reliability issues and best practices for assessing energy risks, and (iv) identify potential responsive measures associated with unassured energy supplies. These areas of work include the timing and output of variable energy resources, fuel delivery and storage, and volatility in forecasted load that can result in insufficient amounts of energy on the system to serve electrical demand in operations, operations planning, and planning time horizons. The ERWG also drives the development of resources to better educate and inform the electric industry on issues concerning the coordination and interdependence of the electric and natural gas systems.
