Modernizing Wholesale Markets for the Solar+ Decade

Wednesday, September 16, 2020

2:05 PM – 2:50 PM EDT

Free and open access to electricity markets is a key component of achieving major increases in generation for solar and other clean energy sources. What do recent FERC rulings mean for state renewable programs and policies? How are FERC and RTOs affecting the growth of renewables? This session will focus on what power market reforms are necessary, how to ensure RTO rules fully value renewable energy resource capabilities, and how policymakers and regulators can build a better framework for reliably integrating clean resources and decarbonizing the power system at the least cost.
