Net Energy Metering and State Authority: What's at Stake for Advanced Energy in FERC Petition

Posted by Webinar on Jun 3, 2020 12:13:00 PM

Recorded on June 3, 2020

States have long had the right to design retail billing and rate policies to facilitate the adoption of distributed energy resources, but right now that’s under threat of federal preemption. Net energy metering and similar practices have long been an important tool for states, as well as municipal and cooperative utilities, to empower consumers to take control over their energy supply. A recent petition from a little-known group called the New England Ratepayers Association asks the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to upend the status quo and expand federal regulatory authority over these policies and the customers that participate in them – with ramifications well beyond just net energy metering for rooftop solar.

With PJM's compliance plan now filed and open for comment through April 22, this webinar looked at how PJM has chosen to handle key issues, including what counts as a state subsidy, how default and resource-specific price floors will be set, and when future capacity auctions will take place.

Valuing Distributed Energy Resources in ERCOT

Posted by Webinar on Jan 27, 2020 12:45:00 PM

Recorded on January 27, 2020

Texas Advanced Energy Business Alliance (TAEBA) recently released a new report that
showed electricity customers across the state could save $5.47 billion by using distributed
energy resources (DERs) like solar energy, energy storage, efficiency, and electric vehicles
to reduce the need for more costly peak power generation and transmission and distribution
investments. The report quantified the value of integrating DERs into transmission and
distribution planning and allowed them to participate in existing wholesale markets.
