Massachusetts Energy Bill Boosts Prospects for Offshore Wind and Energy Storage

Massachusetts H. 4568 (An Act to promote energy diversity) will shape the state’s energy future with an ambitious offshore wind energy target and lead to energy storage procurement targets with opportunities for utilities to own energy storage. The policy will likely provide a much-needed impetus for the U.S. offshore wind industry and also help other industries, such as solar companies that offer solar-plus-storage products.

EnerKnol’s Visual Primer – Electricity Markets

As the one-way electric grid evolves into an intelligent, two-way platform, ISOs and RTOs are tasked with balancing the impacts of the changing energy landscape together with public policy actions set at both federal and state levels. While ISOs can employ innovative market designs that can help state policies achieve their goals, challenges arise when policymakers impose conditions on the markets that cannot be priced. These challenges are further amplified when policymakers within a single market footprint take different actions that potentially contradict each other. EnerKnol’s Primer on Electricity Markets highlights these major driving changes in the wholesale markets, and more.

New York Green Bank Highlights Role of Innovation in Solar Financing

On May 12, 2016, New York Governor Andrew M. Cuomo announced several new NY Green Bank transactions to fund solar installations and energy efficiency initiatives. With its evolving Green Bank, New York now joins Connecticut, which established first U.S. Green Bank, in leading the way to facilitate low-cost financing for clean energy by leveraging private capital. The success of Connecticut and New York’s green banks shows that public-private partnerships can outshine direct subsidies to clean energy and efficiency projects. As long as funding streams are available, green banks can amplify the impact of private investments and open additional sources of funds.

New York Adopts New Revenue Model for Electric Utilities under REV

On May 19, 2016, the New York State Public Service Commission (NY PSC) issued an order adopting a framework for a ratemaking and utility revenue model under the Reforming the Energy Vision (REV) initiative (Case 14-M-0101). The Order is a major step forward in providing a framework for utilities to generate revenue as distributed system platform (DSP) providers under REV. Utilities will be required to develop retail markets for DER, such as solar, geothermal, wind, fuel cells, combined heat and power, battery storage, energy efficiency, and other advanced energy services.
