Optimizing distributed energy resources and reducing greenhouse gas emissions cost effectively will require improved forecasting and the elimination of regulatory silos, speakers told Infocast’s California Distributed Energy Summit last week.

NYISO held its Distributed Energy Resource workshop last week to open public discussion on how it will respond to New York’s Reforming the Energy Vision initiative.

The growth of distributed energy resources and behind-the-meter innovation will require upgrades to the distribution network, speakers told PJM at their Grid 20/20 symposium.

The last panel at the Independent Power Producers of New York fall conference featured an environmental activist and representatives of the energy storage, wind and solar industries.

Speaking at IPPNY’s fall conference, New York Transco President Stuart Nachmias said the state's ambitious transmission development plan will not be implemented quickly.

Gavin Donohue, IPPNY CEO, opened their fall meeting by declaring that its top priority is to have NYISO reset the installed capacity demand curve.

A forward capacity market may have worked for PJM and ISO-NE, but it isn’t the solution for NYISO, the Market Monitor told IPPNY’s fall conference.

Western utility leaders at the CAISO annual stakeholder event said they welcome the operational benefits and increased regional cooperation of the EIM but remain wary of organizing the wider West under a CAISO-run RTO.

The increased adoption of distributed energy resources occupied center stage during the second day of CAISO’s annual Stakeholder Symposium.

More than 100 generators, consultants, RTO officials and utility executives attended Infocast’s PJM Market Summit 2016.
