Description

About

The presentation will triangulate through the electric industry’s transformation from hundreds of unique balancing authorities into seven major ISO/RTOs. The remaining individual balancing authority areas of WECC and SERC will also be considered. The presentation will then seek to describe possible paths forward over the next five years as we begin the active pursuit of co-optimizing carbon and energy in a very physical sense.     

1 hour CPE – Specialized Knowledge

Objectives

  • This short presentation is designed to enable the attendee to follow the extreme rise in market and grid operations complexity from 1997 to 2022. The attendee should also leave with a current understanding of the oncoming integration between the transmission and distribution systems. One example is the attendee will be challenged to consider the current movement to bring distributed energy resources (DERs) interconnected to the distribution systems into the centralized wholesale markets run by the ISO/RTOs.

Why the IECA?

My IECA membership has helped my career in a number of ways, although most notably 1) building networks to help find a job in a new city and state and 2) helping to stay apprised of best practices in Risk. I would recommend joining based on networking and meeting counterparts to help to build trusted relationships and career growth.
