SEIA Comments in Texas PUC Resource Adequacy Project No. 40000
On October 22, 2012, SEIA filed comments in PUCT Project No. 40000. SEIA advocated that the PUCT ensure that any new market design not exclude or otherwise prevent solar energy from investing in and participating in future market expansion. Furthermore, SEIA argued that the Commission should support policies that promote long-term contracts, which would encourage investment in new peaking generation and thereby improve resource adequacy. Finally, SEIA stated that the Commission should continue to recognize the importance of ERCOT's system reliability to retail customers by considering system quality in addition to resource adequacy when designing ERCOT market solutions to achieve specific reliability objectives.
