This webinar will present Ascend’s market outlook for energy, capacity, ancillary services, and RECs in PJM and MISO and implications and opportunities for new power supply resources.</p></div><div class="blog-card_buttons"><a href="/blog/pjm-miso-q4-2024-market-outlook-the-coal-catch-22-thursday-nov-7th-2024" target="_blank" class="button clear-alt small w-button">Read More</a><a href="/insights/request-pdf" class="button clear-alt small w-condition-invisible w-button">Request PDF</a><a href="#" class="button clear-alt small w-condition-invisible w-button">Download PDF</a><a href="#" class="button clear-alt small w-condition-invisible w-button">Visit Page</a><a href="#" class="button clear-alt small w-condition-invisible w-dyn-bind-empty w-button"></a><a href="#" class="button clear-alt small w-condition-invisible w-button">View Brochure</a><a href="#" class="button clear-alt small w-condition-invisible w-dyn-bind-empty w-button"></a><a href="/about-us/lets-connect" class="button clear-alt small w-condition-invisible w-button">Contact Us</a></div></div></div></div><div role="listitem" class="collection-item-8 w-dyn-item"><div class="blog-card"><div class="blog-thumbnail"><img height="128" loading="lazy" width="256" src="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/5beca5810001640240db245c/66f493c7992550211f5d9188_Carbon%20Accounting-3-Thumbnail%20(4).avif" alt="" class="blog-thumbnail_image"/><div class="blog-thumbnail_video w-dyn-bind-empty w-video w-embed"></div><p style="background-color:#005293" class="blog-thumbnail_category">Webinars</p></div><div class="blog-card_content"><p class="blog-card_title">Market Observations & Outlook for PPAs and M&As | Online: Thurs, Oct 17, 2024</p><p class="blog-card_subtitle">October 17, 2024</p><p class="blog-card_subtitle w-condition-invisible w-dyn-bind-empty"></p><div class="blog-card_location w-dyn-bind-empty"></div><p class="blog-card_olddesc w-condition-invisible w-dyn-bind-empty"></p><div class="blog-card_description w-condition-invisible w-richtext"><p>As interconnection queues surge with clean energy projects, the supply of clean energy projects has begun to exceed demand and created heated competition to supply PPAs.

Join this webinar to learn Ascend’s view on how the WECC power market will unfold and where and what resources are needed to meet new load in the wake of large thermal retirements. Key questions discussed: </p><p>• How will the divide in market prices react to unprecedented load growth? </p><p>• How will the WECC decide to increase cooperation in the region and create price transparency? </p><p>• How will Utilities navigate the new market landscape - join CAISO’s Extended Day-Ahead Market (EDAM), join SPP Markets+, or continue with business as usual? </p><p>• What are the strategic implications and the regional-specific consequences for developers and utilities related to these decisions? </p></div><div class="blog-card_description w-richtext"><p>Surplus solar in the South West has turned the WECC upside down to create a new North and South divide, where the South has become the low-cost center of power and the North has some of the most consistent high power prices in the country. </p></div><div class="blog-card_buttons"><a href="/blog/wecc-market-release-stuck-in-the-middle-with-you-online-august-1-2024" target="_blank" class="button clear-alt small w-condition-invisible w-button">Read More</a><a href="/insights/request-pdf" class="button clear-alt small w-condition-invisible w-button">Request PDF</a><a href="#" class="button clear-alt small w-condition-invisible w-button">Download PDF</a><a href="#" class="button clear-alt small w-condition-invisible w-button">Visit Page</a><a href="#" class="button clear-alt small w-condition-invisible w-dyn-bind-empty w-button"></a><a href="#" class="button clear-alt small w-condition-invisible w-button">View Brochure</a><a href="#" class="button clear-alt small w-condition-invisible w-dyn-bind-empty w-button"></a><a href="/about-us/lets-connect" class="button clear-alt small w-condition-invisible w-button">Contact Us</a></div></div></div></div><div role="listitem" class="collection-item-8 w-dyn-item"><div class="blog-card"><div class="blog-thumbnail"><img height="128" loading="lazy" width="256" src="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/5beca5810001640240db245c/666b835d771d918bbf85e99f_ERCOT%20Release%205.1%20Preview-2.avif" alt="" class="blog-thumbnail_image"/><div class="blog-thumbnail_video w-dyn-bind-empty w-video w-embed"></div><p style="background-color:#005293" class="blog-thumbnail_category">Webinars</p></div><div class="blog-card_content"><p class="blog-card_title">ERCOT Release 5.1 Preview: I Can't Believe it's not a Capacity Market | July 18, 2024</p><p class="blog-card_subtitle">July 18, 2024</p><p class="blog-card_subtitle w-condition-invisible w-dyn-bind-empty"></p><div class="blog-card_location w-dyn-bind-empty"></div><p class="blog-card_olddesc w-condition-invisible w-dyn-bind-empty"></p><div class="blog-card_description w-condition-invisible w-richtext"><p>ERCOT is experiencing quickly rising demand, but ERCOT’s electrical isolation from the rest of the country makes it more susceptible to volatility and scarcity conditions that result from a delicate supply and demand balance.</p></div><div class="blog-card_description w-richtext"><p>ERCOT is experiencing quickly rising demand, but ERCOT’s electrical isolation from the rest of the country makes it more susceptible to volatility and scarcity conditions that result from a delicate supply and demand balance.
