FERC released a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NOPR) in September, outlining proposed changes to the implementation of the 1978 Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act (PURPA). A diverse set of stakeholders submitted comments in early-December, representing a broad spectrum of responses. Concerned parties expressed ideas relating to ongoing hindrances for small generator facilities in both RTO and non-RTO markets, while others question FERC’s authority to make the proposed changes. Supporters have largely highlighted longstanding needs to modify the rule in the interest of protecting end-use customers by moving away from long-term fixed prices for renewables. In this webinar, NRRI staff will host a discussion of these and other responses to the various components of the NOPR. Additional details will be provided in the coming weeks.
