Three AGs and CARB Filed Comments to FERC on Demand Response Aggregation

JULY 26, 2021

Maryland Attorney General Brian Frosh, Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey, and Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Neronha, along with the California Air Resources Boar (CARB) and the Maine Office of Public Advocate, filed comments to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission on its notice of inquiry on “Participation of Aggregators of Retail Demand Response Customers in Markets Operated by Regional Transmission Organizations and Independent System Operators.” The comments supported the agency’s “repeal of the Demand Response Opt-Out, consistent with the Commission’s treatment of other aggregations of resources at the generation, retail, or distribution levels,” but urged FERC to recognize the states’ “traditional, statutorily preserved jurisdiction.”
