Summary: In this third part of a trilogy of shows about how to decarbonize grid power, former utility regulator Travis Kavulla offers his thoughts on how wholesale electricity markets can use competition to deliver clean electricity. Following our discussion about reforming wholesale markets in <a href="https://xenetwork.org/ets/episodes/episode-90-how-will-decarbonized-power-markets-work/">Episode #90</a>, and our exploration of how state policies can directly choose clean power in <a href="https://xenetwork.org/ets/episodes/episode-97-state-policies-drive-decarbonization/">Episode #97</a>, Travis offers some deep thoughts on the respective roles of FERC and state regulators, proposed reforms to PURPA, FERC’s showdown with PJM, the politicization of FERC, the recent battle in Ohio over HB6 (bailing out its nukes and coal plants), and other regulatory battles du jour. So much power market wonkery in such a small package!
