Region Deep-Dive | Wholesale Panic & Possibility Unleashed by California Solar
This session will zero in on the chain reaction ignited by high solar penetration in California: midday spark spread erosion, exaggerated evening super-peak pricing, ancillary service rate eruption, better battery economics, worse solar economics, implications for utilities' time-of-use retail rate structures, and the extent to which demand response, storage and EVs can benefit while mitigating mayhem imposed by the merit order effect. Ultimately, this panel uses California as a case study to understand what happens to wholesale signals when renewables take a big bite out of net load.
