Given that Texas is expected to add another 14 million to its population between 2010 and 2030, these shortages raise alarms about the state&#39;s ability to meet future energy demand. Success will depend upon finding the most effective way to incent the development of more capacity.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike many other states, Texas has had a competitive retail market for electricity since 2001, replacing the traditional cost of a service-based regulated market. The market requires customers to choose a competitive electricity supplier and allows retail suppliers to set their prices without regulatory interference. However, regulatory action has resulted in caps being placed on system-wide wholesale power prices with the intent of protecting consumers. It is these system-wide offer caps that have limited prices, reduced potential profitability for wholesalers and restrained the development of new generation.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.principalsolarinstitute.org\/documents\/2889\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Click here<\/a>\u00a0to access and download the complete whitepaper.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ron Seidel, PE, principal at RBS Energy Consulting and Principal Solar, Inc. board member will discuss and answer questions about his recent whitepaper, &#8220;Solutions for the Texas Energy Shortage.&#8221;
