Carbon management is emerging as an important component of regulatory strategies to progress towards a net-zero economy. Recent actions range from funding for the first direct air capture facilities to establishing an action committee to advance marine carbon dioxide (CO2) removal.
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…...
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 to the ability of system operators to meet reliability requirements. RA ensures that the planned resource mix is sufficient to meet the future system capacity needs and maintain grid reliability.
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…...
