Market Structures
Expanding and maturing markets are supporting investment in generation and grid infrastructure, putting new stress on the economics of coal, and improving the economics of renewables. In response, market parameters are evolving to support electricity reliability and affordability as systems accommodate higher levels of variable and distributed energy resources. This report highlights key trends and innovative examples to describe how power sector leaders are reforming market structures to accelerate the energy transition.
Fossil Fuel Transition Strategies
To reliably transition the coal fleet, minimize the build-out of new gas, and mitigate customer and ratepayer impacts, utilities and governments are taking advantage of new financing and reinvestment opportunities that can help ease and support the transition to clean energy. This report compiles examples and data to describe how power sector leaders are leveraging fossil transition strategies to make progress on energy transition priorities.
