FERC Technical Conference regarding Carbon Pricing in Organized Wholesale Electricity Markets
Anyone with an interest in the debate over carbon pricing in wholesale electricity markets should invest some time reading the posted comments available at this link, in preparation for the FERC Technical Conference scheduled for 9/30/2020 - see link for details. I've made my position known on this: Any increase in electricity costs, without application to other fossil fuel uses, such as transportation, heating and manufacturing will unduly inflict higher costs for electrification and could inhibit electrification of these other segments. Now is not the time to unfairly disadvantage and discourage electricity use by raising prices - electricity must the the obvious economic choice, if we are to have any real progress addressing climate change.
FERC Technical Conference regarding Carbon Pricing in Organized Wholesale Electricity Markets
The purpose of this conference is to discuss considerations related to state-adoption of mechanisms to price carbon dioxide emissions, commonly referred to as carbon pricing, in regions with Commission-jurisdictional organized wholesale electricity markets (i.e., regions with regional transmission organizations/independent system operators, or RTOs/ISOs). This conference will focus on carbon pricing approaches where a state (or group of states) sets an explicit carbon price, whether through a price-based or quantity-based approach, and how that carbon price intersects with RTO/ISO-administered markets, addressing both legal and technical issues.
