Bulk power system reliability must be maintained, regardless ofthe generation mix

All generation must contribute to overall bulk power system reliability

Standards and criteria established must be fair, transparent andperformance-based

Planners and operators must understand the challenges presented by large scale integration of variable generation

Wind and other variable generation must effectively integrate into planning and operations practices to ensure reliability

New Planning/operating tool requirements will be described in terms of bulk power system reliability performance
