NYISO’s 2020 Master Plan prepares power markets for renewable energy surge

摘要

The New York Independent System Operator’s draft 2020 Master Plan lays out how it plans to adjust market rules to allow solar resources to follow dispatch and use price signals to enhance reliability. Priorities include large-scale solar dispatch, ancillary services shortage pricing and developing a hybrid storage model. “Wholesale energy and capacity market products form price signals that indicate both current and future reliability needs, incentivizing both real-time performance and long-term investment,” the NYISO said in the Master Plan, posted to its website and scheduled to be discussed at a Wednesday stakeholder meeting.
