The Evolution of Power Markets: Evaluating the Impacts of a Low Carbon Future

The US power industry is in the midst of changes on a scale not seen since Thomas Edison commercialized electricity.  This shift, to a cleaner, more distributed, more dynamic market is driven by State-level regulations, climate change awareness, technological innovation, generation economics, and consumer preference.  Accurate electricity demand forecasting is becoming increasingly challenging as it combines the reductions due to energy efficiency on one hand with possible large increases due to Electric Vehicles and Electric Heat Pumps, on the other; as societies move to a low carbon future. What is certain is that generation is migrating from the large central power stations to the distribution system and from conventional generation to unprecedented levels of intermittent renewable generation.
