Two-thirds of North America could face power shortages this summer due to Green Energy

[David H]

The North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) last week published its 2023 summer reliability assessment, which found that two-thirds of North America could face power shortages this summer during periods of extreme heat.

That vulnerability, the watchdog group said, stems from America's increase in green power generation and decrease in fossil fuel power plants.

While coal and natural gas plants can be turned on and off at the flip of a switch, green alternatives such as wind and solar rely on favorable weather conditions to operate at full capacity. If those conditions aren't met, power demand can outpace supply.
