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

    As announced in the Notice \1\ 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 6:00 p.m. Eastern time. The 
conference will be held electronically.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 18 CFR 2.1 (2020).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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.
    A revised agenda and list of panelists for this conference are 
attached. All changes to the agenda since the Commission's August 28, 
2020 Supplemental Notice of Technical Conference appear in italics.
    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
