APPA Hosts Wholesale Market Summit

On Thursday, June 7, the American Public Power Association (APPA) hosted the "Wholesale Market Summit, Part IV: Next Steps in the Electric Market Reform Initiative (EMRI)."  The purpose of the meeting was to update members on the results of various EMRI studies and to discuss possible next steps.  Pat Hyland participated on behalf of the Northeast Public Power Association (NEPPA), and Brian Forshaw was there for Connecticut Municipal Electric Energy Cooperative (CMEEC).   

During the all-day summit, APPA members discussed possible "micro" and "macro" responses to issues that have arisen in restructured electricity markets.  There was consensus that APPA should continue its campaign and focus on number of "micro" responses, such as stricter market monitoring procedures and standards, increased market transparency, reforms to RTO governance and increased accountability, among other things.  APPA will be developing a summary of the meeting, including suggested action items for further discussion by the membership.
