PJM wasn’t the only place the winter 2013-14 made its mark in the record books. MISO, the Southwest Power Pool and NYISO all hit all-time winter peaks during January’s polar vortex, while ISO New England came up just short.

The winter’s high prices for gas and power have busted budgets and left state regulators and consumer advocates scrambling for answers. FERC says it has seen no evidence of market manipulation.

PJM is considering boosting its capacity payments to nuclear plants and others with firm winter fuel supplies, the RTO told a FERC technical conference Tuesday.

Former FERC Chariman Jon Wellinghoff is coming under fire from some of his old colleagues for comments he has made to the media regarding grid safety.

FERC approved a new definition of the bulk electric system that refines the exclusions for radial facilities and local networks.

A Department of Energy-funded study concludes that PJM has the best alignment of electric and natural gas infrastructure among U.S. regions on the Eastern Interconnection.

PJM won’t seek additional compensation for black start generators in the face of stakeholder opposition, officials told members Friday. Instead, members of the task force studying the issue will be polled to determine their next step.

Nearing the end of one of the harshest winters in its history, PJM is considering requiring winter testing of generators.

Responding to concerns raised by the sabotage of a PG&E substation, FERC has ordered reliability standards to enhance the grid's physical security.

Black start generators anticipating increased compensation came away empty handed Thursday as stakeholders rejected two proposals that would have boosted payments to existing units by at least 40%.
