@bradplumer hits topic on point with best summation to date of range of policy solutions to harden US electric grids 1/

2/ Wind turbines can be equipped to operate in icy conditions

3/ Thermal natural gas plants can be built to store oil on-site to fuel switch during emergencies

Capacity market with adequacy payments encourage storage Eg Grid regulators “design markets that pay extra to keep a larger fleet of backup power plants in reserve in case of emergencies”

Integrate EVs into residential solar systems with inverters that can automatically island away from grid (inverters need extreme weather related equipment)
