DOE STUDY TOUTS RELIABLE GRID DURING MARKET CHANGE   <\/h1>\n\n

The Energy Department\u2019s power grid study \u201cis a much-needed, pragmatic look at U.S. electricity reliability and resilience, including the priority of maintaining critical clean baseload power as electricity markets change,\u201d ClearPath Executive Director Rich Powell said.
\n
\nSeveral of the findings are particularly important to preserving nuclear plants. For example, the report emphasizes the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission completing the price formation reforms in the wholesale electricity markets that ClearPath has been targeting<\/span><\/strong><\/a>. These reforms would increase the compensation for electricity sales for all market participants, and nuclear plants close to the edge of profitability would benefit in particular.
\n
\nClearPath also looks forward to FERC\u2019s response to the report\u2019s second major recommendation around developing a value for resilience and essential reliability services. Such a reform could properly compensate nuclear and hydropower for their resilience benefits and might incentivize innovation and development in grid-scale storage.

HYDRO’S POTENTIAL IS BIGGER THAN ONE ECLIPSE <\/h1>\n\n

Hydropower and natural gas stepped up to provide the needed grid reliability for California during the solar eclipse.
\n
\nBut the untapped potential for smaller hydro projects is far bigger. The future of U.S. hydropower is creating electricity from existing flows of water, be it pipes in municipal systems or an irrigation canal on a ranch.
\n
\nThere is enormous potential for these small \u201cconduit\u201d or \u201cenergy-recovery\u201d  hydro projects that are possible on private land and using private, man-made existing water infrastructure.
\n
\nRich Powell and ClearPath\u2019s hydro expert Justin Ong have broken down the potential and challenges:

A new report from former USS Cole Commanding Officer Kirk Lippold<\/strong><\/a> says it is \u201cincumbent\u201d for Congress to extend a nuclear production tax credit \u201cin order for it to remain a reliable power backbone for decades into the future.”
\n
\nInterim FERC Chairman Neil Chatterjee has tapped Anthony Pugliese<\/strong><\/a> as his chief of staff. Pugliese was the Transportation Department\u2019s senior White House adviser.
\n
\nCoal will remain India’s primary energy source<\/span><\/strong><\/a> in the short to mid-term because it is a cheap source of power, according to the country’s chief economic advisor Arvind Subramanian. He also called for establishing a global coalition for clean coal technology modeled after an international solar alliance.
