FERC accepted ISO-NE’s updated cost of new entry (CONE) and offer review trigger price (ORTP), effective March 15, 2017.

MISO said it expects to have plenty of reserve capacity to cover upcoming winter operations, even as it announced a review of an emergency declaration.

The panels at the Organization of PJM States (OPSI) 2017 annual meeting discussed the effects of cheap natural gas on the markets and state politics.

Consumer advocates urged Congress to pressure FERC to improve the RTO stakeholder process and reject Energy Secretary Rick Perry’s directive to rescue at-risk coal and nuclear generation.

PJM hit a snag attempting to calculate the market seller offer cap (MSOC) for Capacity Performance units for the 2021/22 delivery year.

With a myriad of proposals emerging to revamp PJM’s capacity market, stakeholders are focused on what the RTO will do, but staff aren’t tipping their hand.

Energy Secretary Rick Perry on Friday ordered FERC to rescue at-risk nuclear and coal generation by ensuring they receive “full recovery” of their costs.

NOVEC weighed in with its own plan for reforming PJM’s capacity construct, saying the nine existing proposals ignored sometimes-illogical human behavior.
