"RTO Insider reports that Arizona Electric Power Cooperative is working with the Western Area Power Administration to study the costs and benefits of joining CAISO’s Extended Day-Ahead Market or SPP’s Markets+. AEPCO CEO Patrick Ledger said the cooperative has not made a decision and would rather wait for new markets to be established. Advanced Energy United’s Brian Turner stated Arizona utilities should stay in the Western Energy Imbalance Market, since joining Markets+ would mean giving up more than $1.3 billion in proven benefits for uncertain savings."

"Latitude Media reports that California’s new grid utilization law, SB905, encourages utilities to measure and publicly report how efficiently their grids are being used. Unlike Virginia’s approach, California gives regulators more flexibility in developing performance standards, raising concerns about how quickly the law will be implemented. Advanced Energy United’s Brandon Garcia highlights the importance of maximizing existing grid infrastructure to address rising electricity bills."

"In an analysis of natural gas consumption across 15 states and 37 utilities, Advanced Energy United’s Ryan Brown and Sarah Steinberg found that, while gas usage per customer is declining in most areas, utility bills continue to rise amid accelerating pipeline infrastructure spending. They highlight the growing affordability risks associated with declining gas demand and call on states to adopt stronger long-term gas planning, pursue lower-cost alternatives to pipeline investments, and implement regulatory reforms to protect customers from rising costs."

"Advanced Energy United’s Alex Lawton urges ISO-NE to revise its proposed capacity market reforms, warning that current modeling assumptions could undervalue energy storage by approximately 15%, discouraging investment and increasing consumer costs. Ahead of a critical November vote, United and a coalition of storage stakeholders are advocating for more accurate accreditation values, an extended transition period, and safeguards to ensure permanent modeling fixes are implemented."
