Duke Energy Corp (NYSE:DUK)’s shares dropped -0.12% to $72.04.

Associates of American Electric Power, Berkshire Hathaway Energy, Duke Energy (DUK), Edison International, Eversource Energy, Exelon, Great Plains Energy, and Southern Company have signed a memorandum of understanding to pursue development of Grid Assurance™, a limited liability company that anticipates to offer subscribers cost-effective solutions for enhancing grid resiliency and protecting customers from prolonged transmission outages.

As projected, Grid Assurance will own and provide subscribers with timely access to an inventory of emergency spare transmission equipment that can otherwise take months to acquire. Grid Assurance filed a petition with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) late yesterday seeking confirmation that this service can be part of a transmission-owning entity’s strategy to effectively address grid resiliency mandates. Grid Assurance will not be FERC regulated, but plans to charge cost-based subscription fees, similar to FERC-regulated transmission formula rates. Cost-based subscription fees are predictable to facilitate subscribers’ ability to recover expenses.

Restoration of the transmission grid can be hampered by long lead times required to design, build and deliver critical replacement equipment counting large transformers, circuit breakers and other specialized electrical equipment. As projected, Grid Assurance will be more cost-effective than companies independently securing emergency spare equipment for high-impact, low-frequency events due to economies of scale, diversification and improved logistics.
