The U.S. grid’s vulnerability to cyberattacks has grown, the North American Electric Reliability Corporation has warned. According to the regulator, the number of vulnerability points in the grid had grown from between 21,000 and 22,000 at the end of 2022 to 23,000-24,000 at the end of 2023. 'It's very hard to keep pace with addressing all those vulnerabilities,' NERC senior vice president Manny Cancel said, as quoted by Reuters.
That’s wind and solar installations that only operate when there is sunshine or wind, and that need backup from dispatchable capacity to avoid blackouts. Last year in May, the NERC warned that as much as two-thirds of the American grid was at risk of electricity shortfalls as a result of the combination of extreme weather expectations and the too-fast replacement of baseload generation with intermittent sources.
