Dr. Mathew Morey and Dr. Laurence Kirsch, on behalf of The American Public Power Association (APPA), National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA), and the New York Association of Public Power (NYAPP), studied the capacity market operated by the New York System Operator (NYISO). In the study, the authors find that there is no need to fix what is not broken. The existing capacity market structure has provided generation capacity where it is most highly valued, using diverse fuels and meeting a variety of renewable resources and environmental policy goals. This success has been achieved without resorting to a mandatory forward market such as those used by PJM and ISO-New England. The current design does not require replacement by a mandatory forward centralized capacity market.

CA Energy Consulting, in collaboration with Energy Policy Group, has recently produced a report on behalf of the Eastern Interconnection States’ Planning Council and the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners. This report assembles information from a wide variety of sources, and compares wholesale market structures, transmission planning processes, and state laws and regulations in the Eastern Interconnection. The information and comparisons will help state regulators understand how market structures and state rules may affect incentives for and barriers to generation and transmission investments.
