The summit is dedicated to all stakeholders in Illinois and will provide the timeliest updates, perspectives, and plans for the Illinois energy market.
Despite Illinois climate action plans, the state’s renewable energy future is in flux and facing a boom or bust situation. With FERC’s PJM Capacity Market ruling and the introduction of the Minimum Offer Price Rule (MOPR), renewable resources could effectively be priced-out of the PJM Capacity Market auction. All stakeholders involved await further guidance from federal and state authorities over looming inconsistencies and uncertainties. Only those with a clear understanding of the new policies and market reforms will succeed.
Infocast’s 3rd Annual Illinois Energy Market Summit is the No. 1 place for utilities, ARES, transmission developers, renewable developers, and financiers to get the latest information on the Clean Energy Jobs Act, MOPR and FERC’s PJM Capacity Market ruling, and updates on the IPA’s Adjustable Block Program and Solar for All Program. The Summit is dedicated to all stakeholders in Illinois and is scheduled to follow the spring legislative session in order to provide the timeliest updates and a forum for all to share perspectives and plans. Following the spring legislative session, utilities, ARES, transmission developers, renewable developers, and financiers will get the latest information on:
- FERC’s MOPR ruling and impacts on renewables in the PJM Capacity Market
- IPA distributed solar procurement plans through the Adjustable Block Program & Solar for All Program
- C&I investments & other load growth opportunities
- Transmission expansion plans & queue reform
The Pre-Summit Workshop: Overcoming Interconnection Challenges will provide the latest information on backbone system planning and investments spanning across SPP, MISO, and PJM. Regulators, RTOs, ISOs, transcos, developers, and leading utilities will take a deep dive into best practices, lessons learned, and practical step-by-step methodologies for getting through the interconnection queue.
