Stakeholders say the MISO effort to simplify treatment of behind-the-meter generation has created more questions than it has answered.

The debate over metering DER in front of or behind the customer’s load was the focus of the PJM Market Implementation Committee’s most recent special session on the topic Nov. 22.

The installed capacity requirement ISO-NE filed with FERC shows a continuing trend of declining load growth and a greater reliance on behind-the-meter solar.

The latest ISO-NE briefing on its ongoing economic study focused on the shortfall of energy market revenues, prospects for storage and meeting RPS goals.

The SPP Strategic Planning Committee discussed behind-the-meter generation and the Lubbock migration to ERCOT.

MISO began working with stakeholders to refine its behind-the-meter generation procedures with a special meeting at which it dropped hints on changes it might seek.

All energy storage resources wanting to qualify as capacity should register as behind-the-meter for the 2017/18 planning year, MISO said at last week’s two-day Resource Adequacy Subcommittee meeting.

FERC  accepted NYISO’s proposed Tariff revisions allowing large behind-the-meter resources to participate in the ISO’s  markets.

The prevailing opinion at the Infocast California Energy Summit was that solar is the generation of choice now in the state.

About 1,900 MW of behind-the-meter generation may be unavailable because of tightened environmental rules, PJM told the Operating Committee.
