At 38:00 (a "typical" day) the market price seems to top off at $30 per MW without solar. That works out to be 3 cts / kWh. That's extremely low. Am I reading this wrong ? Or do gas plants (45 % of the state) still run at such a low price ?
It seems like the Californian electricity market is unregulated..? but i read that it is partially regulated, can someone please explain to what level it is regulated? thanks! Marie
The duck-curve seems to suggest the impacts solar renewable resources to be around negative 5 - 6 GW on the net-demand at the duck belly. How much these 5-6 GW are customers’ rooftop PV and large solar farm respectively?
On the slide at the 42-minute mark, what are the break down of the behind-the-meter and In-front-of-the-meter solar generation capacity in solar peaks of 8.4 - 9.1 GW?
Those are Front of Meter values. Behind the Meter is in addition to this. Behind the Meter generation is largely seen as a reduction in demand. Behind the Meter generation is not attached to the High Voltage Transmission grid.

Is the PowerPoint deck available somewhere? This is a very informative and interesting talk, but the audio quality is very poor.
did you find them anywhere? i could also use them :)

Do you know if in the real-time market, the bids come from (and dispatches go to) only generators or from/to the demand side too?
