Do you have dozens of article tabs open and reports tagged to read later? Me too That's why I penned a blog for @AEEnet to cut the jargon and summarize key findings from our report on resource reliability values. Methods to assess fossil fuels are outdated and that's a problem.

If you don’t have the “capacity” to dig into our latest report on capacity markets, @KatBurnham1 has you covered. #EnergyTwitter ⤵️⤵️⤵️ hubs.ly/Q018brbL0

Last week, we released a new report from Astrape Consulting (@Kdcarden) examining how existing methods to determine the resource adequacy (aka capacity) value of thermal power plants (coal, natural gas, oil) overvalue their reliability contributions. 1/ aee.net/aee-reports/getting-…

We hope this work will help ground conversations, especially as reliability continues to be thrown around as a justification for lots of market rule decisions. We have to have a real conversation about future reliability needs that fairly consider the value of all techs. 15/15

P.S. - This report would not have gotten over the finish line without the diligent work of @KatBurnham1 on Team @AEEnet. Love putting out good work with smart colleagues!

Yesterday, a group of stakeholders in PJM put forth a proposal that could lead to the elimination of demand response from the capacity market. That would be profoundly anti-consumer, and give a lifeline to inefficient aging generators that would otherwise retire. 1/

Lots of good stuff here, but the headlines will, I think, be about the recommendation to develop mandatory reliability standards (that come with $1 m. per day fine potential) on generator winterization. See pages 19 - 23ish in the presentation here: ferc.gov/media/february-2021…

PJM says it "may" consider the application of ELCC to thermal resources when it looks at ELCC in 2022. Appreciate that, but @FERC needs to hold PJM and stakeholders to that. Keeping the 206 proceeding open will discipline the stakeholder process, we hope. 13/13

Cities are not far behind state policies and corporate purchasers as a key driving force in the clean energy transition. Between 2015 and Q1 2020, U.S. cities signed 335 renewable energy deals totaling 8.28 gigawatts (GW). 2/ wri.org/blog/2020/06/renewab…

The good folks @WRIEnergy and @WorldResources have put together this terrific report on how local governments can engage in wholesale markets issues. It has lots of great ideas for how cities can amplify their voices and pursue clean energy in RTOs. 1/ bit.ly/citiesmarkets

With @FERC kicking off a series of conferences on power market design and capacity market reform, I wrote this piece on the problems that must addressed and the principles that should be applied to capacity market and resource adequacy reform. utilitydive.com/news/reformi…

Reforming capacity markets to meet clean energy goals and support the grid of the future

The goal of reform efforts should be to retool the regional markets so that they facilitate the achievement of state and consumer clean energy goals and meet regional reliability needs in tandem, the...

Thread on ERCOT reliability: I run a small resource adequacy consulting firm that analyzes reliability across the country. Our clients among others include ERCOT, SPP, and MISO. All three entities are dealing with reliability issues today. 1/x

New York and #NYC especially have been hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic. #Demand Response will be more critical than ever to maintain grid stability, and Enel X advocated for rule changes that were enacted to ensure customers can continue to participate. Read more here ⬇

We are supporting the workers on the front line to help show the light in these difficult times. Enel has committed about $1.3 million to partner organizations addressing the health crisis to support the communities where we operate. Together, #WeWillPowerThrough.

We've seen all too terribly the consequences of those who denied warnings of a pandemic. We can't afford any more consequences of climate denial. All of us, especially young people, have to demand better of our government at every level and vote this fall. latimes.com/politics/story/2…

Trump weakens fuel economy standards, rolling back key U.S. effort against climate change

The Trump administration released weaker fuel economy standards for new cars and trucks, pitting the federal government against California.

We at hospitals are here for you. We’re doing everything we can to be ready. But we need the public’s help to hand wash, social distance, work from home if your employers have advised/allowed it, and avoid large crowds. This will help blunt the impact on hospitals. 11/12

Temple University earns millions by stacking demand response programs with Enel X NA. As part of their efforts, they've prioritized opportunities to offset energy costs and improve resilience while contributing to the local community. Learn more: bit.ly/2FSAYyX
