New England power market stakeholders mull market designs to aid energy transition

摘要

ISO New England and New England Power Pool stakeholders March 18 evaluated clean energy and carbon pricing frameworks as alternative market designs to advance the region's clean energy transition, with specific consideration given to a forward clean energy market and a net carbon price. The ISO is working with stakeholders and consulting firm Analysis Group to evaluate two market frameworks that have been discussed as potential pathways to the future grid, according to a presentation given by ISO-NE staff during a NEPOOL Participants Committee working session that was posted to the grid operator's website. ISO-NE plans to study both frameworks simultaneously and issue a final report in early 2022 that discusses the market impacts of both designs.
