Parts of America could face difficulties in meeting electricity demand during the summer season, with renewable energy sources like wind and solar power posing a potential risk to reliable power supply, according to a report by the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC).

Elevated risk means there is “potential for insufficient operating reserves” when the region faces above-normal demand conditions.

The determination of elevated risk is based on various factors, including potential low wind or solar energy conditions that could lead to a lower electricity supply.
