ERCOT's market reform proposals defended

摘要

Factors outside of Texas regulators' control have been "putting enormous stress on generators," prompting concern about the Electric Reliability Council of Texas energy-only market's operability and reliability, but an economist said Thursday his proposals can address these concerns. During the University of Texas School of Law's 16th annual Gas and Power Institute, William Hogan, the Raymond Plank professor of global energy policy at Harvard's John F. Kennedy School of Government, described and defended a paper that he and Susan Pope of FTI Consulting wrote for NRG Energy and Calpine, which was submitted in May to the Public Utility Commission of Texas.
