Carbon Pricing in Organized Wholesale Electricity Markets; 
Supplemental Notice of Technical Conference

    As announced in the Notice of Technical Conference issued in this 
proceeding on June 17, 2020, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 
(Commission) will convene a Commissioner-led technical conference in 
the above-referenced proceeding on Wednesday, September 30, 2020, from 
approximately 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Eastern time. The conference will 
be held electronically.
    The purpose of this conference is to discuss considerations related 
to state-adoption of mechanisms to price carbon dioxide emissions, 
commonly referred to as carbon pricing, in regions with Commission-
jurisdictional organized wholesale electricity markets (i.e., regions 
with regional transmission organizations/independent system operators, 
or RTOs/ISOs). This conference will focus on carbon pricing approaches 
where a state (or group of states) sets an explicit carbon price, 
whether through a price-based or quantity-based approach, and how that 
carbon price intersects with RTO/ISO-administered markets, addressing 
both legal and technical issues.
    The agenda and list of panelists for this conference are attached. 
There is no fee for attendance, and the conference will be webcast for 
the public to attend electronically. Information on this technical 
conference, including a link to the webcast, will also be posted on 
this conference's event page on the Commission's website, www.ferc.gov/news-events/events/technical-conference-regarding-carbon-pricing-organized-wholesale-electricity, prior to the event. The conference 
will be transcribed. Transcripts will be available for a fee from Ace 
Reporting, (202) 347-3700.
    Commission conferences are accessible under section 508 of the 
Rehabilitation Act of 1973. For accessibility accommodations, please
