About

Our Story

With nearly 25 years of experience leading the design and operation of wholesale electricity markets, we have experience in a diverse array of wholesale energy and capacity markets across North America. We have led the development of enhancements to improve market signals and incentives for power generation and advance power system resources that support grid reliability needs and energy policy objectives. We are well-versed in the energy sector's regulations, including federal, state, and international regulations, and knowledge of laws related to energy generation, transmission, and distribution.

 

These experiences include landmark changes to the NYISO’s capacity accreditation rules, the introduction of a multi-interval co-optimized real-time energy market, the enhancement of ancillary service product and pricing designs, and improved transmission congestion pricing. Luminary Energy has expert knowledge of the wholesale market designs for renewable generators, conventional generators, energy storage, distributed energy resources, and hybrid resources. Luminary Energy also has deep knowledge on grid operations, transmission planning, interconnection, and interregional energy trading across the Northeast.
