Abstract |
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory hosted a webinar on March 24, 2017, titled "The Future of Centrally-Organized Wholesale Electricity Markets." To view a video of the recording, click here. Despite enormous complexity, diversity and challenges, bulk power markets in the United States are functioning reasonably well. However, some aspects of their design — particularly, the long-term functioning of wholesale markets administered by regional transmission operators and independent system operators — remain a work in progress and in some cases are subject to an ongoing debate. Four questions in particular lack consensus and are the subject of this report:
These questions are debated in the report by authors representing a market operator (PJM), utilities (National Rural Electric Cooperative Association), environmental interests (Natural Resources Defense Council) and consumers (National Association of State Utility Consumer Advocates). |
