ATLANTA, GA – NERC, the North American Transmission Forum (NATF), and the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) will be holding in-person workshop on transmission planning for extreme weather on May 29-30, 2024. This workshop will focus on discussing the implications of FERC Order No. 896 and the upcoming TPL-008 standard regarding extreme weather impacts on transmission planning. The workshop will bring together climate experts from National Labs and Agencies who will discuss the science behind climate impacted weather data in the long-term transmission planning timeframe. Key topics include:

• Data sources for event definition - historical and projected datasets.
• Key considerations for extreme heat and extreme cold events.
• Coordination across areas based on selection of the benchmark event.
• Capturing asset vulnerabilities - data sources, availability, and approaches.
• Building benchmark planning cases - methods and important considerations.
• Extreme Temperature Assessment - study process and the need for corrective action plans.
• Approaches and tools needed to build power flow cases.

Please reach out to Aguarin Iriarte if you have any concerns or questions about the event.
