Studies & Reports
PGP Market Evaluation
The goal of the assessment was to help PGP members understand how they may be affected by new energy market structures that could emerge in the coming years, including day-ahead markets and regional transmission organizations (RTOs). The study examined how the operations of differently situated “proxy portfolios”, which comprise loads, generation, contracts, and market access assumptions, are likely to be affected by the new market constructs under two study horizons: 2022 and 2030.
Organized Market Retrospective
In an effort to support PGP member utilities in their evaluation of organized markets, PGP conducted a review of past organized market efforts in the West. The Organized Market Retrospective report includes a summary of market functions that are typically shared under an organized market, an overview of the past initiatives to create an organized market, and a summary of key takeaways and proposed next steps.
