Foley Hoag is pleased to sponsor the next New England Restructuring Roundtable, Keynote sessions include: FERC Commissioner and ISO-NE Board Chair and Panels on the Future of Gas in New England.
Over the last decade or so, New England states and stakeholders have outlined a roadmap on how to decarbonize every sector of the economy, employing aggressive energy efficiency, decarbonizing our electric grid, and electrifying buildings and transportation. This roadmap has been supported by a myriad of state and municipal laws, policies, and programs, as well as industry and customer investments.
During the Biden administration, there was significant federal support for clean energy and carbon reduction through funding (e.g., the Inflation Reduction Act) and permitting (e.g., for offshore wind). FERC also adopted sweeping new regulations for transmission planning and cost allocation (Order 1920) and for resource interconnection (Order 2023). The early stages of the Trump administration have clearly indicated new priorities, with the suspension of clean energy funding and offshore wind permitting, as well as the potential for tariff policies that could impact the cost of new technologies, and potentially the cost of Canadian electricity imports.
This important keynote conversation between FERC Commissioner Judy Chang and current ISO New England Board Chair (and former FERC Chair) Cheryl LaFleur, moderated by Dr. Jonathan Raab (Roundtable Convener and former Moderator of the FERC/NARUC Transmission Task Force), will expore a wide range of issues related to New England’s wholesale markets and reliability. Conversation topics will include the implementation of FERC’s transmission rules affecting regional and inter-regional planning, cost allocation, and interconnection. The discussion will also explore how New England can ensure winter season resource adequacy as New England transitions from summer to winter peaking system, with load growth from electrification and AI. As part of this conversation, we will touch on FERC’s expected new rulemaking related to co-location of generation and data centers. We will also explore how markets need to evolve to flexibly accommodate what may be a very different set of generation resources in the future then we have now.
