SEU 2019 survey: Uncertainty mounts in the clean energy transition; Virginia regulators deny Walmart request to leave Dominion utility service; New York utilities, NYISO to collaborate on allowing storage in state's wholesale and retail markets; DTE's wind-only option spurs Michigan regulators to approve revised green pricing program
Each year, we survey you — the utility industry itself — to find out how the people who live the energy transition are dealing with its many challenges.
Our sixth annual State of the Electric Utility, out today, depicts a sector that knows where it's going but is uncertain about how to get there.
As in past surveys, utilities say they are committed to moving to a cleaner, more distributed power system. But that continuity masks a growing anxiety.
Utilities are increasingly unsure and conflicted about what types of regulation and market structures they want to foster this transition, and that uncertainty is a key trend running through the 30-question survey.
How are utilities dealing with the unsure times? Read our overview of the survey results to get a taste. More information is available in the 73-page report, which you can download here. And for a truly deep dive into the results, check out the SEU 2019 Webinar with FERC regulator Nora Brownell and energy consultant Alison Silverstein.
