Illinois To Examine Long-Term Resource Adequacy Issues, Including Entities Responsible for RA
October 26,2015
The Illinois Commerce Commission will hold a Planning for the Future Policy Session on resource adequacy on November 19
The meeting will address resource adequacy in the Ameren Illinois footprint.
"MISO’s goal to ensure enough capacity is available to meet the needs of all consumers in the MISO footprint during peak times at just and reasonable rates is critical. With diminishing excess supply and the narrow timing of the MISO Planning Resource Auction, I believe this is the right time to explore this issue in greater detail," said ICC Commissioner Sherina E. Maye-Edwards.
The session will explore the following questions:
• Is long-term resource adequacy being successfully addressed in the Ameren Illinois footprint?
• What are the benefits of ensuring long-term Resource Adequacy in the Ameren Illinois footprint?
• Which entity or entities, by design or default, should be responsible for ensuring long-term Resource Adequacy in the Ameren Illinois footprint?
• Assuming MISO is the responsible party, what improvements or changes should they be making to the resource adequacy construct?
• What are the primary concerns stakeholders have with long-term Resource Adequacy in the Ameren Illinois footprint?
