Discussion: Governors’ Clean Energy Coalition — Larry Pearce, David Terry

“We are entering a new era in which governors are increasingly setting bold clean energy goals and challenging the public and private sectors to partner in advancing both economic development and renewable power solutions. Renewable energy, energy storage, carbon capture, and low carbon transportation fuels will all likely be needed to meet these energy goals.”

Governors’ Clean Energy Coalition (draft-6-23-19)

Governors’ Clean Energy Actions

FERC, Seam Study, and Order 1000, PURPA — Rob Gramlich, Grid Strategies

“The chairman had told state utility commissioners that among his policy priorities were grid resilience, cybersecurity, reform of the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act (PURPA), integrating renewables into wholesale power markets, encouraging energy storage and reforming transmission incentives. Chatterjee said he does not know anything about the timing of a White House nomination of a commissioner to replace McIntyre. But he reiterated the commission “speaks loudest when it speaks with one voice, with a full complement of commissioners.” He acknowledged that many industry sectors want to see FERC finalize an order on how to allow aggregated distributed energy resources such as solar into wholesale markets.” — E&E
