Dive Brief:
Utilities and state regulators are protesting a decision from federal regulators to prevent states from blocking demand response aggregates participation in the wholesale markets.
In several requests for rehearing filed with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission on Tuesday, utilities within the Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO), the investor-owned utility trade group Edison Electric Institute, the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners (NARUC) and individual state commissions questioned the FERC s March decision Order 2222-A denying states an opt-out option when it comes to allowing aggregated demand response to bid into the wholesale markets.
Demand response and clean energy advocates had praised the ruling as the commission s next step in lowering barriers to distributed energy resources under Order 2222. But utilities and state regulators say the order oversteps FERC s authority.
