ISO-NE will integrate more renewable resources and increase its reliance on natural gas-fired generation, according to the RTO’s 2017 Regional System Plan.

At a conference to analyze Pennsylvania’s electricity markets, Christina Simeone unveiled her study on price impacts from the expansion in shale gas.

The panels at the Organization of PJM States (OPSI) 2017 annual meeting discussed the effects of cheap natural gas on the markets and state politics.

There is wide disagreement over how much natural gas the U.S. even has, and even more disagreement on when it will run out.

The U.S. is becoming a net exporter of natural gas for the first time since 1958, a boon to the nation but a source of concern for gas customers.

Rising natural gas prices will likely mean an end to ERCOT’s all-time low energy prices, according to the Independent Market Monitor.

FirstEnergy CEO Chuck Jones said that he thinks the “country is heading for a disaster” because of its over-reliance on natural gas for generating power.

EIM leaders endorsed a CAISO proposal that would allow the ISO to constrain output from natural gas-fired plants across the market.

Stakeholders are cautiously supportive of CAISO’s proposal to permanently assume authority to limit output from gas-fired generators in emergencies.

A study released by the American Petroleum Institute said policy makers should seek “reliability attributes,” which natural gas is “relatively advantaged” in.
