ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

The Mid-Atlantic states are setting their sights on 100% clean energy, translating into gigawatts of further renewable energy procurement with mandatory RPS goals, carve-outs, and programs for solar, storage, offshore wind, and energy efficiency. States are also tackling “deep decarbonization” as plans to electrify buildings and transportation emerge.

While bigger procurement targets are great news, each state has widely varying programs and timelines. As turmoil in PJM unfolds, the economic calculus for new projects is shifting. Only those with deep insight into FERC’s rulings, the impact the pandemic is having on projects, the economic downturn, and how states in the region respond will be able to seize these opportunities.

Infocast’s Mid-Atlantic Renewable Energy Virtual Conference brings together top regulatory officials, utility and public power leaders, and developers to discuss the emerging energy innovation ecosystem.

Attendees will explore all the new opportunities and implications of:

  • The expanded state and local clean energy frameworks and the rapidly changing market drivers
  • The fallout from MOPR
  • Carbon pricing scenarios in PJM
  • Transmission and interconnection issues and solutions
  • The current and future political dynamics
  • RPS updates and state and local incentive programs
  • The shifting factors driving economic development and business opportunities

RTO Insider LLC

Website

RTO Insider™ is your eyes and ears on the organized electric markets, putting you “inside the room” at PJM Interconnection, MISO, NYISO, ISO-NE and SPP. We provide independent, objective coverage and analysis of the wholesale electric industry’s markets and policymaking, saving you time and ensuring you don’t miss the issues most important to your interests.

Features include:

  • Coverage of key RTO/ISO committee, subcommittee and task force meetings. We’ll be there when you can’t.
  • Coverage of news events impacting the industry throughout the 35 states managed by the RTOs/ISOs.
  • Coverage of state and federal regulatory (FERC, EPA) & legislative news affecting RTO/ISO stakeholders.
  • Issue Briefs: Concise summaries of major issues (e.g., Order 1000, EPA’s 111(d) rule).

What RTO Insider isn’t: We are not advocates or representatives. You can trust that our coverage will not be slanted to the interests of any member or membership sector.

What RTO Insider is: A source for both the big picture (e.g. analyses of major FERC rulings and RTO stakeholder developments) and the details (why is Manual 28 being changed and what does that mean to me?)
