Published: Dec. 15, 2021, 10 a.m.

U.S. power markets are evolving. Three factors\u2014(1) the increasing penetration of generation from more intermittent renewable resources; (2) an increasing number of extreme weather events; (3) and the influx of new, especially corporate, buyers and sellers into the market\u2014together are driving the development and adoption of new contracted revenue structures, risk management strategies, and products to measure emissions at a granular level. \n\nBorn and bred to be an environmentalist, Lee Taylor founded REsurety nine years ago to develop new critical data analytics and risk management products to address the challenges faced by buyers and sellers in these evolving power markets. \n\nIn this episode, host Chad Reed dives deep with Lee into the shift of focus from commodity price risk faced by fossil generation to volumetric risk faced by renewable generation. Chad also speaks with Lee about REsurety\u2019s innovative Locational Marginal Emissions (LME) Product, which, by measuring emissions at a localized level, seeks to drive investment to clean energy projects with the highest impact on reducing carbon. \n\nNote that Hannon Armstrong is a both client of and investor in Resurety.\n\nEpisode recorded November 30, 2021
