Cold weather preparedness and operations is key to ensuring
reliability and resiliency of the Bulk Power System, especially given the cold
weather the ReliabilityFirst footprint experiences year after year. Since
2014, ReliabilityFirst has strived to support generating facilities by
identifying best practices as well as sharing lessons learned around cold
weather preparedness.
The following documents are meant to serve as a reference of
various cold weather preparedness materials. These documents include:
- Cold weather training materials from sources across the
ERO
- ERO guidance and recommendations around cold weather
preparedness
- Lessons Learned from cold weather events
- Reports from historical cold weather events
Specific to ReliabilityFirst’s cold weather
preparedness program, references include the surveys used to benchmark
generating facilities’ current cold weather preparedness as well as the best
practices and lessons learned that have been identified over the years.
