Efforts to incorporate New York’s aggressive climate change policies into NYISO markets are focused on the introduction of a carbon price adder.

Industry stakeholders gave advice on distributed energy resource (DER) oversight to staff of the New York State Department of Public Service.

At the NYISO Management Committee, the RTO said that it declared a major emergency on May 21 after the loss of 1,000 MW of generation in ISO-NE.

The NYISO Management Committee discussed the upcoming summer, an annual review of the Market Monitoring Unit and Tariff changes.

The New York Public Service Commission (NYPSC) said the state’s utilities have 41 GW of capacity, more than enough to meet a projected peak summer load.

NYISO’s Power Trends 2017 report shows an electric system of flat peak demand adapting under pressure from both public policy and consumer patterns.

Natural gas price spreads between Western and Eastern New York in 2016 led to NYC generation being “more economic than in recent years,” NYISO's MMU said.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo has nominated John Rhodes, CEO of the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority, to chair the Public Service Commission.

More than 50 stakeholders from PJM, NYISO and ISO-NE made their cases to FERC on how to resolve conflicts between energy policies and wholesale markets.

NYISO told FERC it is considering a carbon adder as a means to link the state’s zero-emission credits (ZECs) to its wholesale electric market.
