It would seem that there's a bit of narrative and bias in Mr. Lazar's statement. Quite the opposite is true about the power grid. The Northwest Power Pool considers an outage risk of <5% to be safe, but the study warns that the state faces a 26% probability of an outage from insufficient generation to meet an increased load. Several folks testified to the lack of capacity of the power grid to handle the extra load of electrification at the State Building Codes Council meetings, including reps from IBEW who actually do the work on the ground. We are truly at risk of an end to a relative period of stability in our power grid since 2000.
