What type of resources must be included in the assets considered by each Responsible Entity?

Each Responsible Entity is required to account for a range of resources necessary for ensuring reliable operation and recovery in the electric power sector. These assets must include multiple types, which encompasses control centers, generation services, and blackstart systems, among others.

Control centers are crucial as they manage operations, monitor the grid, and make real-time decisions to maintain stability. Generation services are essential because they provide the power needed to meet demand and support grid functionality. Restoration systems, particularly those critical to blackstart, are vital in re-establishing power supply after a blackout, ensuring that the grid can be restored efficiently and safely.

Inclusion of these various types of assets allows for a comprehensive strategy in managing not only day-to-day operations but also in preparing for and responding to emergency situations. This holistic approach ensures that all necessary components are in place to support grid reliability and resilience.
