“Resource adequacy in wholesale electricity markets with intermittent resources at scale, as Paul Joskow so well described in his paper and presentation, is quite a challenge. For multi-state RTOs with very diverse states in terms of public policies with different interventions of subsidies and/or resource mandates it gets even more challenging. In the search for solutions, hybrid market models may be the viable way forward.”
