May. 18, 2017 | Rensselaer, NY | The New York Independent System Operator (NYISO) today released Power Trends 2017, an annual report that provides in-depth information and analysis on current and emerging trends that are transforming the power grid and wholesale electricity markets.

May. 18, 2017 | Today's release of the annual Power Trends report on the New York electric grid is another reminder of how much work remains to meet Gov. Andrew Cuomo's goal of producing 50 percent of the state's power from renewable sources by 2030.

May. 16, 2017 | The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission recently led a two-day industry discussion that could come to represent a turning point in how we address carbon reduction by energy producers. The technical conference brought together state regulators, generators, economists, consumer watchdogs and environmental advocates to discuss the effect that state renewable policies are having on competitive energy markets.

May. 02, 2017 | At FERC's technical conference, stakeholders expressed worries over the long-term viability of the wholesale market model. But the federal agency's hands are tied until it has a quorum.

May. 01, 2017 | Part 1 of this series delivered a brief overview of the electric grid in the U.S. and looked at the history of the New York Independent System Operator (NYISO) in particular. In part 2, we will examine some of the details involved in the pricing of electricity on NYISO’s statewide competitive wholesale power market.

Apr. 26, 2017 | Platform business models have redefined the modern economy. From titans of personal computing and e-commerce such as Apple and Amazon to ubiquitous financial services that we use with hardly a second thought (think ATMs and credit cards), industries everywhere have reoriented from one-directional pipeline delivery systems to multisided platforms on which information and services flow in many directions between actors.

Apr. 17, 2017 | Rensselaer, NY | The New York Independent System Operator (NYISO) will offer a market training course on May 9-12 at the New York Power Authority Centroplex, 123 Main Street, White Plains, NY.

Apr. 13, 2017 | The New York ISO on April 11 said that the state’s bulk power system will meet all applicable reliability criteria through 2026, according to the “2016 Comprehensive Reliability Plan,” which was approved by the NYISO board of directors.

Apr. 11, 2017 | Rensselaer, NY -- New York’s bulk power system will meet all applicable reliability criteria through 2026, according to the 2016 Comprehensive Reliability Plan (CRP).

Apr. 04, 2017 | Comprised of more than 11,000 circuit-miles of transmission lines and generating more than 140,000 GWh of electricity each year, New York’s power grid keeps the lights on for the state’s nearly 20 million residents. Managing this system is the New York Independent System Operator (NYISO), a non-profit agency that runs the state’s competitive electricity markets and ensures grid reliability.

Mar. 16, 2017 | WASHINGTON, D.C. | A report from an affiliation of independent electric grid operators concludes that the future of the North American power grid depends on effectively adding renewables to the grid, the accuracy and availability of data from “behind-the-meter” resources and coordinating these distributed energy resources at the grid operator level to preserve reliability.

Mar. 13, 2017 | Unrest grows along the PJM-NYISO border after the dismantling of the CON ED-PSEG WHEEL that for decades held sway over daily operations in the region. Expensive infrastructure replacements loom on the horizon, and stakeholders on both sides suspect the other of attempting to take advantage of the situation.

Mar. 07, 2017 | Consultants and academics have been saying for a while that multiple revenue streams are key to the economics of an energy storage projects. Consolidated Edison is testing that idea with an innovative real world application.

Feb. 22, 2017 | The electricity industry is in an exhilarating period of innovation driven by new energy resources and cutting-edge technology. And our own state of New York is leading the charge for change.

Feb. 11, 2017 | Energy storage is having an identity crisis in wholesale markets, and federal regulators are trying to fix it. The question is simple: how do you define energy storage? For system operators, the answer is varied since storage can be categorized as generation, load or both.

Feb. 10, 2017 | When you turn on a light or charge your phone, the electricity coming from the outlet may well have traveled hundreds of miles across the power grid that blankets most of North America — the world’s largest machine, and one of its most eccentric.

Feb. 06, 2017 | Gov. Andrew Cuomo is reshaping how New York state's electrical grid operates, encouraging consumers and local communities who buy electricity to also sell renewable energy into the system, sending power in both directions.
