Proposed Texas rule highlights storage's challenges in bridging competitive, regulated energy markets; Bomb cyclone showed coal retirements could raise risks for power grid, DOE says; EPA plan to bar studies without public data could disrupt clean air regulations; MISO could reduce 22.5 GW from summer peak with demand-side management strategy, study says
The new proposal would set a 50% renewables goal similar to the one backed by climate activist Tom Steyer, but gives regulators leeway to set aside the target.
DOE's National Energy Technology Laboratory examines the role of fossil fuels during the bomb cyclone and sees risks to grid resilience and reliability from the loss of coal capacity.
The policy change could have significant implications for the Trump administration's efforts to rewrite the Clean Power Plan and air quality standards.
Applied Energy Group said a combination of demand response and distributed energy resources could help reduce summer peak. Most of the savings will likely stem from efficiency, which could reduce it by 11 GW.
The two measures extend a $1,600 tax credit for residential installations and require solar companies to provide disclosure forms for purchase agreements to consumers.
