This CLE course will guide energy sector attorneys on the new FERC order regarding the aggregation of distributed energy resources. The panel will discuss next steps for participants, qualifications, new directives for independent system operators and regional transmission organizations (ISOs/RTOs), state-opt outs, and other key items that must be considered to benefit from the new aggregation order for energy markets.

Description

On Sept. 17, 2020, FERC issued Order No. 2222 to further reform wholesale electric markets by removing barriers to the participation of distributed energy resource (DER) aggregations in the capacity, energy, and ancillary service markets operated by ISOs/RTOs. Energy sector counsel and participants must grasp a complete understanding of how this order may have an impact on market rules and potential opportunities for DER aggregators.

The rule applies to various DERs, including electric storage resources, distributed generation, energy efficiency, thermal storage, electric vehicles, and other resources. However, the rule also has strict qualification requirements for participants, outlines new directives for ISOs/RTOs, and provides certain opt-outs for states.

Listen as our panel discusses the impact of FERC Order No. 2222, key requirements, and potential challenges, as well as outlines next steps for participants seeking to benefit from the new aggregation order for energy markets.
