FERC last week approved NERC's new risk-based approach to reliability compliance monitoring and enforcement, the Reliability Assurance Initiative (RAI).

ISO-NE asked FERC last week to reverse its order directing a market-based solution for the next winter reliability program.

NYISO must amend its Tariff to establish uniform rules for identifying and compensating reliability-must-run (RMR) generators, FERC ruled Thursday.

MISO will have to adopt neighbor SPP’s cost allocation method for interregional transmission facilities addressing reliability needs, FERC said.

Entergy’s request for a $187 million transmission upgrade near Lake Charles, La., will receive a “full review” by MISO’s board following stakeholder dissent over its classification as an out-of-cycle project.

FERC upheld its order that MISO could no longer broadly allocate the SSR costs of three power plants in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.

Generators would be permitted to sell frequency response services at market-based rates under a rule proposed by FERC last week.

PJM set a new winter record for electricity use Friday, with demand hitting about 143,800 MW as dozens of cities broke low temperature records.

The owner of the R.E. Ginna nuclear plant announced an agreement with Rochester Gas & Electric that will keep the plant operating for more than three years.

ISO-NE chose Eversource Energy and National Grid to build a $740 million land-based transmission project to solve reliability problems in the Boston area, rejecting a more expensive undersea cable proposal by NextEra.
