12/29/2014
EnerKnol's latest report covers EPA’s Clean Power Plan, regional programs, and continued solar installation growth aim to improve state-level resource reliability.
Impact
The proposed Clean Power Plan and regional reliability programs will continue to influence an energy mix shift and electric system improvements in the coming years. The energy mix shift is also being pushed by fuel and generation technology economics, and may be further influenced by changes to utility rate designs and business models.
Outlook
In 2015 and beyond, regions and states will continue to explore the technical and economic aspects of increasing levels of distributed generation, with a focus on electric system reliability.
