This panel will examine the historical pattern of use of meteorological information in the planning and operations of US electric energy systems.Panelists will discuss examples of issues or missed opportunities caused by the limitations in the use of this information and then consider ways that meteorological information can be more tightly and effectively integrated into the policy-making and planning process for future electric system configurations. Ultimately, the panel will discuss how the meteorological community can most effectively facilitate the successful evolution and development of the New Energy Economy that is increasingly sensitive to weather and climate variations.
