NetZero Insider’s Vincent Gabrielle was in Albany last week for the Independent Power Producers of New York Spring Clean Energy Conference, where he heard about the state’s struggles to meet its climate commitments while stakeholders urged maintaining NYISO’s markets.

K Kaufmann covered a webinar by Energy Innovation Policy and Technology in which Ric O’Connell, executive director of the nonprofit GridLab, made a provocative claim: Concerns about resource adequacy in the face of growing demand are overblown. 

And Washington state has relaunched a rulemaking that will pave the way for linking the state’s cap-and-trade program with the already-linked programs of California and Quebec, Elaine Goodman reports. 

Here’s what else we had this past week: 

• Citing Inflation and Load Growth, Dominion Asks Virginia for Higher Rates 
  

• DC Circuit Upholds FERC Approval of La. Pipelines for Driftwood LNG 

• Maine Floating OSW Negotiations Halted 

See you next week!
