In September 2023, FERC and NERC staff presented preliminary findings and recommendations regarding the\u00a0 Winter\u00a0 Storm Elliott. During the storm, both electric and natural gas systems throughout much of the eastern half of the United States were subjected to significant stress, resulting in significant unplanned generating unit losses, with 90,000 megawatts out simultaneously.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">\u00a0<strong><em>With respect to the natural gas system, the evidence raised what we view as serious concerns about certain local gas distribution systems\u2019 ability to ensure reliability and affordability in the region without Everett.

With respect to electric reliability, we encourage ISO-New England and its stakeholders to pursue reforms aimed at ensuring that the electric system remains reliable by incentivizing resources to obtain the energy supplies, e.g., fuel, necessary to perform during extreme weather conditions. To the extent that Everett or other infrastructure plays a role in supporting electric reliability by making needed energy supplies available, in the near-term or the future, such reforms should consider how to ensure that any needed reliability contributions are appropriately valued.<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><em>Exploring Electric Retail Choice and Competition<\/em><\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">Oklahoma \u2013 Electric<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Legislation has been introduced (Oklahoma Senate Bill 1332) in the 2<sup>nd<\/sup> Session of the 59<sup>th<\/sup> Legislature (2024) (<a href=\"http:\/\/webserver1.lsb.state.ok.us\/cf_pdf\/2023-24%20INT\/SB\/SB1332%20INT.PDF\">SB1332 INT.PDF (state.ok.us)<\/a>) that, if ultimately enacted, will provide for electric retail choice in Oklahoma.
