The Redefining Resource Adequacy Task Force initially evaluated the state-of-the-art practice for capacity accreditation and novel capacity accreditation methods and procurement mechanisms necessary for system planning and reliability with a changing energy mix, new technologies, and decarbonization goals. In 2024, the task force released a new report, outlining the need for, and a path toward, the use of a multi-metric criteria approach in resource adequacy analysis.
