Within two decades, increasing load from electrification will have MISO operating on a winter peaking model, RTO staff said.

A shift to electric heating will raise winter power demands, but utilities could mitigate spikes by improving buildings' "thermal envelopes," ACEEE said.

CAISO issued a draft final proposal for its summer readiness market enhancements initiative just three weeks after presenting a straw proposal.

Peak demand was lower in December than in years past, MISO executives said during an informational forum.

A new study outlines the challenges of decarbonization in New England, including the amount of renewables required and carbon capture.

ERCOT staff promised to reduce price corrections before asking the Board of Directors to approve a pair of them for two unrelated events.

The COVID-19 pandemic and accompanying recession will significantly reduce electricity demand in California through 2023.

June’s peak demand in ERCOT’s footprint came within 116 MW of last June’s peak, a sign that consumer demand and summer heat are nearing normal levels.

MISO is preparing for emergency conditions this winter despite projecting 40 GW of excess capacity to meet the forecasted peak in January.

The MISO footprint didn’t come close to its forecasted summertime peak, but ways to improve resource adequacy were on the minds of those at Board Week.
