In Rethinking Grid Governance for the Climate Change Era, Prof. Shelley Welton makes a compelling case for why “U.S. grid governance must be redesigned to accommodate a new era of regulatory priorities that include responding to climate change.” As the operators of regional electricity markets and managers of the transmission grid, Regional Transmission Organizations (RTOs) “must play a pivotal role” in achieving clean electricity goals. However, as Professor Welton details, RTO governance structures are in many ways designed to resist the types of changes necessary to enable a transition to a clean electric grid. Professor Welton offers four pathways to better grid governance, including increasing public oversight and control by enhancing state and federal oversight capabilities. This Comment focuses on the role of states, and, in particular, the role that state consumer advocates can play in increasing RTO accountability, promoting cost-effective market and grid improvements, and advancing clean energy goals.
