ERCOT Market Summit 2015 will examine the changing market rules and drivers and bring policy-makers together with utility, IPP, DR and energy storage executives to explore the potential opportunities to solve resource adequacy shortfalls. They will examine not only the impacts of rule changes on project economics and financeability but also how the delivery of wind power from the Panhandle and new large solar build out plans are affecting the market. They will also explore how DR, energy storage and other potential game-changers could more effectively be integrated into the ERCOT market, and whether recent transmission and smartgrid investments can be leveraged to provide solutions. Finally, financiers will provide their perspectives on investment in and financeability of projects in the ERCOT market.
