The North American power markets are in transition as the world shifts towards more renewable sources of energy. How will increasing penetration of renewable technologies impact power markets? Using our interactive North American Power Analytics product, which features 600 different sensitivity simulations, we explored some illustrative use cases.

Key questions explored:

• Coal
  How will changing market conditions, including increasing wind and solar penetration levels, affect the remaining coal-fired generators in Texas? Will increasing demand and retiring nuclear capacity counteract the effect of increasing renewables?
• Natural Gas-Fired Combined Cycle Gas Turbines (CCGT)
  What effect do wind and solar penetration levels have on the average fleet-wide capacity factors of natural gas-fired combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) generators in different regions across the US in 2035?
• Solar
  Where is the solar captured price risk the greatest in our Planning Case in 2035?
• Wind
  How do increasing solar capacities impact the difference between wholesale zonal price and captured price for wind farms? Does that impact vary by region, and does it impact onshore and offshore wind differently?
