While other markets struggle to bring new generation online amid revenue instability, capacity market failures, and rising retail prices, MISO’s prevalence of regulated utilities allows the region to efficiently incentivize new generation. The ability of utilities to rate-base or provide capacity contracts to new capacity resources removes the merchant capacity revenue uncertainty of other markets, while clean energy policies in Northern MISO stabilizes procurement conditions for renewables and storage. This mixture of a competitive market with clear procurement pathways and long-term revenue contracts makes MISO a potential model for other markets seeking to create the right conditions for investment. This webinar will discuss Ascend’s latest MISO forecast release as MISO becomes an increasingly attractive market for generation, load, and investors.
