  • Implications of the New York Approval of RGGI AmendmentsAugust 26, 2026
    On August 5, 2026, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) approved amendments to Part 242 CO2 Budget Trading Program.  This makes New York regulations consistent with the RGGI Third Program Review Model Rule but I believe that it was short-sighted because significant changes that occurred since the rule was proposed were ignored.  … Continue reading "Implications of the New York Approval of RGGI Amendments"
  • RGGI’s Market Monitor Confirms the Scarcity I’ve Been TrackingAugust 23, 2026
    Recently I explained why I thought DEC’s New York State’s Short-Sighted Approval of Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) Amendments ignored developments that undercut the analytical basis for the rule it finalized. Potomac Economics, the RGGI market monitor, has now published its Report on the Supply and Demand for RGGI CO2 Allowances: Second Quarter 2026, and … Continue reading "RGGI’s Market Monitor Confirms the Scarcity I’ve Been Tracking"
  • New York Energy Policy BESS DisconnectAugust 21, 2026

  • New York State’s Short-Sighted Approval of RGGI AmendmentsAugust 19, 2026
    A couple of months ago I wrote that the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) needs to be revised. Unfortunately, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) approved amendments to Part 242 CO2 Budget Trading Program that is consistent with the RGGI Third Program Review but are at odds to changes since the completion … Continue reading "New York State’s Short-Sighted Approval of RGGI Amendments"
  • How Neighboring Electric Systems  Handled the July 2026 Heat WaveAugust 13, 2026
    This is the fourth post in my series on the electric system impacts of the late-June/early-July 2026 heat wave. The first two posts (here and here) covered the New York Independent System Operator (NYISO) system, and the third covered data that Rich Ellenbogen shared from his home and factory on the Con Edison system. This … Continue reading "How Neighboring Electric Systems  Handled the July 2026 Heat Wave"
