Moving to embrace and encourage the role of energy storage resources in energy markets, FERC is proposing to require each RTO and ISO to enable the participation of electric storage resources in their organized wholesale markets. Under FERC's proposal, each RTO and ISO would develop market rules that recognize the physical and operational characteristics of electric storage resources and ensure that they are eligible to provide all capacity, energy, and ancillary services that they are technically capable of providing in electric markets. As part of the same proposal, FERC is also proposing to require each RTO and ISO to establish distributed energy resource aggregators as a type of market participant to reduce barriers to their participation in organized electric markets.

We will discuss this NOPR in further detail during an upcoming webinar on November 29.
