Priced Out: Understanding FERC’s ‘Minimum Offer Price Rule’ Order and its Impact on States, Consumers, and Advanced Energy

Posted by Webinar on Jan 8, 2020 12:55:00 PM

Recorded on January 8, 2020

On December 19, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ordered PJM Interconnection, the nation’s largest regional grid operator, to make significant changes to the design of its capacity market that could have significant negative ramifications for advanced energy. FERC’s ruling will require newly developed advanced energy resources like wind, solar, energy storage, demand response, and energy efficiency to offer capacity into the market at high, predetermined prices if they receive or are eligible to receive revenues from a state policy program. What is the Minimum Offer Price Rule (MOPR), and what does it mean for advanced energy development, consumer costs, and increasingly ambitious state climate and clean energy goals?

Distributed Energy Resources in Wholesale Markets: What They Are Doing Now; What They Could Do, Given More Opportunity to Compete

Posted by Webinar on Oct 23, 2019 1:09:00 PM

Recorded on October 23, 2019

Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) – such as battery storage, electric vehicles, microgrids, and both standalone solar and solar-plus-storage – are known for adding value onsite or to the local distribution grid. Increasingly, however, these resources, when aggregated together, are not only technically capable of providing energy, capacity, and ancillary services to wholesale electricity markets but can do so cost-competitively.

Breaking Down Barriers to Advanced Energy in Wholesale Markets

Posted by Webinar on Feb 27, 2019 1:37:00 PM

Recorded on February 27, 2019

What stands in the way of advanced energy technologies competing on price and performance to meet energy needs?

Market rules that are predicated on characteristics of the legacy power sources that now dominate the electric power system. At FERC and the seven wholesale electricity markets under FERC jurisdiction, regulators are starting to recognize, and break down, the barriers to true competition on a technology-neutral basis. But market reform is a long, complicated process, and much is left to be done.

A FERC challenge: Opening up electricity markets to advanced energy technologies

Posted by Webinar on Sep 28, 2016 2:04:00 PM

Recorded on September 28, 2016

In 2015, the U.S. advanced energy industry grew to $200 billion, up 29% since 2011. This is a result of ever-improving economics and performance. As we define it, advanced energy includes renewables, demand response, energy storage, building efficiency, advanced controls and metering, and a variety of grid technologies.

Order 745 and the Future of Demand Response: An Interview with Former FERC Chairman Jon Wellinghoff

Posted by Webinar on Jan 21, 2015 3:54:00 PM

Recorded on January 21, 2015

Advanced Energy Economy (AEE) closely tracks regulatory issues that impact energy innovation and the future of the nation’s electric grid.

The court proceedings surrounding Order 745 and jurisdiction over demand response (DR) has thrown into question how DR will be managed going forward. This webinar features an in-depth interview with Jon Wellinghoff on the future of this critical resource.
