Evolving electric system reliability needs that stem from the anticipated unprecedented growth in intermittent resources have prompted a closer scrutiny of resource adequacy (RA) issues. The increasing share of renewables to facilitate a lower-carbon grid, coupled with fossil generation retirements and increased demand for electrification, pose emerging challenges…Read the full report…...
The New York State Public Service Commission on Oct. 12 denied petitions seeking additional funding from consumers for four proposed offshore wind projects and 86 land-based renewable energy projects. The petitions filed by major offshore wind developers and a clean energy group sought amendments to power purchase agreements with the New York State Energy Research…...

In the face of a rapidly evolving energy landscape, federal and state initiatives continue to support the growth and expansion of energy storage solutions. Energy storage plays a key role in the transition to a zero-emission electric grid by enabling the integration of large quantities of renewable energy while improving grid-operating capabilities.
Regulators across the U.S. are advancing grid transformation measures to support the growth in new sources of power generation driven by clean energy commitments. Recent actions include reforms adopted by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to address backlogs in the interconnection queue, New York’s grid planning process to identify transmission investments, and Maine’s proceeding examining priorities for utility grid plan filings to assist the transition towards a clean electric grid.
