EDFR has built projects across the U.S. in both RTO and bilateral markets.In my role as Senior Director of Transmission Analytics, I head a group responsible for forecasting and mitigating transmission congestion and curtailment risks for EDFR assets.We use production cost models to simulate the operations of the grid and project future congestion. Forecasting and mitigating transmission and congestion-related risks when grid capacity is limited, as well as accelerating market and transmission policy changes to enable better grid integration, have become a fundamental area of the business, as the pace of renewable installations continues to increase under states' clean energy policies or corporate interest in corporate sustainability and decarbonization.
