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.

North Carolina to Revise PURPA Rules

July 6, 2017

North Carolina has passed legislation that would reform implementation of PURPA, the key policy that helped the state become the second largest solar market in the U.S. PURPA has gained relevance in recent years due to the significant decline in renewable energy costs which has made solar and wind increasingly cost-competitive. However, utilities across states disagree over rates and contract lengths pertaining to projects under PURPA. The ongoing debate over PURPA will likely prompt reforms by modifying implementation terms or pushing legislation for future changes.

DOE Grid Reliability Study to Examine Impact of Renewables on Baseload Generation

June 28, 2017

Energy Secretary Rick Perry’s upcoming grid reliability study is examining whether renewables are accelerating coal and nuclear retirements, while the trend is primarily driven by low natural gas prices and slow growth in electricity demand. Renewable energy growth is increasingly driven by costs, as these technologies have matured and attained scale.

FERC Warns about Tighter Supplies in New England and Texas for Meeting Summer Load

June 21, 2017

FERC’s 2017 summer assessment forecasts tighter supplies in New England and Texas while anticipating adequate summer capacity in most regions. Increased hydroelectric generation from heavy snowpack levels is expected to mitigate risks from limitations at the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility in Southern California. Natural gas futures prices are expected to rise due to lower storage inventories, decrease in production rates, and above normal temperatures.
