IPAA supports strong role for natural gas in electric markets

IPAA submitted April 15 comments jointly with API and NGSA in an ISO-New England proceeding at FERC (Docket No. ER19-1428).

The comments support ISO-New England’s proposed Inventoried Energy Program and its recognition of the “essential role that natural gas-fired generation resources play in supporting fuel security by including them as eligible recipients of inventoried energy payments.” It is important for natural gas producers, electricity consumers, and electric grid reliability for the organized electric markets to ensure that “all resources have the opportunity to compete on a level playing field and be appropriately compensated for the service they provide.”
