WEBINAR ON DEMAND
Duration: 1 hour

Demand is surging from data centers and electrification. Power plants are retiring. Extreme weather is testing the system. The grid has never been under more pressure — and that means utility operators need dependable megawatts that can respond fast, perform predictably under extreme weather conditions, and keep costs in check. 

Increasingly, they’re turning to capacity accreditation to translate a resource’s real and dependable contribution at the most challenging hours into a capacity credit that informs planning and markets. This webinar provides a deep dive into capacity accreditation and the role reciprocating internal combustion engines (RICE) play in delivering reliable capacity. Join to learn:

• Why capacity — not just energy — is the binding constraint in today’s grid, and how accreditation reframes resource value 
• How RICE compares to gas turbines and other dispatchable assets 
• What real-world case studies reveal about procurement realities
