PRINCETON, N.J. - The North American Electric Reliability Council (NERC) has released its "2004 Summer Assessment," concluding that generating resources will be adequate to meet projected power demand in North America this summer.
"NERC and the industry have taken a number of key steps to improve reliability in the wake of last summer's blackout," said Michael Gent, NERC's president and CEO. "If all entities comply with NERC reliability standards, then there should be no uncontrolled blackouts."
