Description (excerpt):

A look across today’s energy landscape reveals a period of exciting innovation. How people think about and use electricity is changing as quickly as the technology that generates and delivers it. Here in New York, the New York Independent System Operator (NYISO) is at the heart of those changes: meeting consumers’ power needs, addressing public policy goals, and sustaining electricity’s fundamental contributions to economic vitality.
As the electric system changes, new challenges and opportunities are coming into view. The NYISO’s annual Power Trends report provides information and analysis on current and emerging trends that are working to transform the power grid and wholesale electricity markets. They include:
ƒ shifting patterns of demand for electricity affected by energy efficiency and distributed energy resources,
ƒ aging infrastructure requiring replacement and upgrades,
ƒ power economics in uenced by low natural gas prices, and
ƒ public policies aimed at reducing emissions, expanding renewable power resources, and providing customers more power choices.
