A new Brattle Group study examined the impact on planning reserve margins of an alternative Western resource adequacy program that includes expected participants in CAISO’s Extended Day-Ahead Market.

Several stakeholders presented proposals for how PJM could address accelerating load growth as the Critical Issue Fast Path process on large load growth wraps up its second phase.

Adapting charging of electrical vehicles to real-time grid conditions could save utilities up to $30 billion annually and reduce peak energy demand, according to a new report by The Brattle Group and smart charging provider ev.energy.

An aggregation of more than 100,000 residential batteries provided an average 535 MW of support to California’s electricity grid during a test to prepare for the hot summer period ahead.

A CATF report argues that planners need to use demand-side resources, grid-enhancing technologies and other quick-to-deploy resources as part of a "least-regrets" effort to meet growing demand.

Key challenges in the review are tightening supply and demand, the uncertain cost of new capacity and accounting for changes PJM has made to how it identifies reliability risks and determines the capacity value for different resource types.

How deeply the One Big Beautiful Bill Act will impact clean energy still is being determined.
