Resource adequacy
Resource adequacy is the ability of a power system to have enough generation, storage and demand response available to meet expected peak demand with a planned reserve margin. Grid operators and state regulators manage it through capacity markets, utility planning or obligations on load-serving entities. Large new data center loads increase the resources a region must secure, which can affect service timelines.
