Albany, NY – With temperatures in New York City predicted to reach into the high nineties this week, the priority of all energy generators is making sure that New Yorkers keep the lights… and air conditioning on. Keeping an electricity grid reliable in a state with an evenly distributed population is a challenge and keeping a grid in New York City and Long Island reliable with the bottleneck in transmission lines is even more difficult. With a load forecast of just under 30,000 MW, making sure that there is enough electricity to meet this demand is essential.

Yesterday evening, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) issued an order accepting the New York Independent System Operator, Inc.’s (NYISO) proposed tariff revisions to exempt State-supported clean energy resources from the NYISO’s buyer-side market power mitigation measures (BSM Rules), improve the valuation of resources’ installed capacity contributions to resource adequacy through a marginal capacity accreditation market design, and enhance the procedures for defining installed capacity demand curves to better reflect a rapidly changing resource mix.
