NY Climate Week 9/25-You’re Invited! Jumping the Line: A Timely Discussion of Fossil Power and Energy Market Manipulation

To kick off your Wednesday of Climate Week, please join Horizon Climate Initiative and our partners as we examine a hidden linchpin of fossil fuel use and driver of high electricity costs.

Every hour of every day, electric utilities and grid operators across the U.S. decide which power generators will supply the electricity we all use. Remarkably often, the result is fossil fuel-fired power plants running when cleaner and cheaper energy resources could be used instead. Every year, these hour-by-hour decisions add up to millions of tons of greenhouse gas pollution, billions of dollars in electricity bills, and stymied renewable energy growth.

Come hear from our speakers and add your voice to a spirited conversation exploring where this market manipulation happens, why it occurs, what’s at stake, and how we can end it.
