Properties
Instance of
Third-PartyGridStressRiskState
http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#Third-PartyGridStressRiskState
Active period
From the time Engineer A learned of the utility's grid stress concerns through the board's decision on the solar project
Affected parties
Engineer A
Local electric utility
Organization board
Third-party utility customers subject to rolling blackouts
Confidence
0.92
Importance
high
Subject
The foreseeable increase in rolling blackout probability for third-party utility customers if the organization eliminates on-site generation and transitions to solar without battery storage
Terminated by
Board decision incorporating full disclosure of grid stress externality, or addition of battery storage to the design
Triggering event
Utility resource planners informed Engineer A that they may be forced to institute rolling outages during extreme weather events, and Engineer A realized the solar transition without storage would exacerbate this
Urgency level
high
Source Evidence
Source text
the utility resource planners reviewed their current generation mix and believe that during extreme weather events, they may be forced to institute rolling outages to keep system generating facilities on-line
Text references
a move to solar production without storage may stress the local utility generation mix even more, increasing the likelihood of rolling blackouts
the utility resource planners reviewed their current generation mix and believe that during extreme weather events, they may be forced to institute rolling outages to keep system generating facilities on-line
