With California continuing to decarbonize, the low-hanging solar fruit is disappearing as curtailment and negative prices spread to more months throughout the year. Meanwhile, overnight electricity generation remains emissions-intensive, with fundamental inefficiencies and incompatibilities between the CPUC slice-of-day RA structure and CAISO interconnection processes impeding state clean energy goals. This webinar will discuss Ascend’s latest CAISO forecast release, discussing the costs of California meeting its clean energy goals, the corresponding outlook for power, RA, and REC prices, and the challenges and opportunities for generators, investors, and LSEs.
