How Regional Transmission Organizations Address State Energy Policies and Capacity Markets — Larry Pearce

Derek Bandera, Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO) (invited)

Lisa Morelli, Pennsylvania New Jersey Maryland Interconnection (PJM)

In the field of electricity regulation, the primary goal of a capacity market is to ensure that sufficient power “capacity” exists in a region to maintain grid reliability and prevent blackouts. Unlike short-term energy markets, which help to manage the balance between energy supply and consumption on a daily basis, capacity markets look farther into the future. Capacity markets focus on whether the grid will have sufficient energy capacity to meet the predicted peak energy demand on any day of the year, which usually occurs during the hot summer months.

Centralized capacity markets are regulated by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) under the authority of the Federal Power Act. Several regional grid operators operating under FERC’s jurisdiction currently have capacity markets.
