Texas Grid Operator Looks to Bolster Energy Prices Amid Renewables Influx

December 6, 2017

The Public Utility Commission of Texas is examining reforms to price formation in the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) energy-only market over concerns of low prices. The proceeding stems from a whitepaper on shortcomings caused by subsidized renewables and other factors expected to interfere with investment decisions and undermine market sustainability. The ERCOT proceeding highlights the ongoing national discussion over the role of organized electricity markets in ensuring fuel diversity and system reliability through pricing mechanisms.

New York Leads the Nation in Exploring Wholesale Market Design for Distributed Energy Resources

November 1, 2017

The New York Independent System Operator has launched a pilot program to examine how the integration of emerging distributed energy resource (DER) technologies will affect wholesale market systems. The pilot program aligns with the state’s objectives under the Reforming the Energy vision (REV) to expand retail markets for DER. Access to wholesale markets will be critical in integrating the growing share of DERs, and state and ISO-level policies will play a key role in this regard.

Massachusetts Among First to Consider Net Metering for Energy Storage amid Calls by Tesla

October 11, 2017

The Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities has initiated a proceeding to investigate the eligibility of energy storage systems to net meter. Stakeholder comments in prior proceedings prompted the investigation, which comes at a time of boom for the storage industry which reflects in the policy realm. Multiple states have passed policies supporting storage, such as mandates, tax incentives, streamlined permitting processes, and research and development programs. While the spread of renewables will be one major driver for the growth of storage, grid resiliency efforts, especially in the wake of weather disasters, will provide another avenue for growth in the industry.

Hurricane-Battered U.S. Gives Momentum to Sweeping Push for Microgrids

October 4, 2017

Panelists at a House Energy and Commerce subcommittee hearing concurred that having more diversified resources would help the authorities manage outages in the wake of hurricanes such as Irma, Harvey, and Maria. The catastrophic storms have emphasized the need for significant investments in the nation’s grid to protect it from a major, long-lasting outage that has affected Puerto Rico. Policymakers are turning to battery storage and microgrids as they do not just strengthen the grid against inclement weather but bring an array of other benefits.

Rejection of Grain Belt Express Highlights Dysfunction in Interstate Transmission Planning

August 23, 2017

The Missouri Public Service Commission has rejected the multi-state Grain Belt Express transmission project for the second time since 2015.The decision is based on a recent court ruling that all counties involved in a project must approve it before the MO PSC can do so. Four commissioners indicated they would have approved the project since it was in the public interest if not for the court decision. The move underscores the need for policies that greenlight grid modernization driven by the growing share of renewables in the generation mix.

Hawaii Regulators Approve HECO’s 100 Percent Renewables Plan

July 26, 2017

The Hawaii Public Utilities Commission has accepted the Hawaiian Electric Companies' near-term action plan towards meeting the state’s target of 100 percent renewables by 2045. California’s proposal to match Hawaii's goal has garnered more attention given the complexity of implementing such goals in a large and diverse economy. As states increase their renewable portfolio standards, utilities will have to be more proactive in charting paths of compliance. Hawaii may offer some early lessons for other states but California's experience could be more applicable.
