The NYISO Management Committee discussed the latest Reliability Needs Assessment and a heat wave that prompted a mandatory systemwide demand response event.

CAISO's board has approved a proposal to extend Tariff provisions implemented in June in response to the closure of the Aliso Canyon storage facility.

FERC said MISO can continue doling out refunds to Wisconsin utilities, upholding the RTO’s new cost allocation methodology for three system support resource power plants in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.

FERC OK'd a rule requiring grid operators to protect against geomagnetic disturbances as well as measures on reliability monitoring and frequency control.

Mel Coleman, president of the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA) board of directors, spoke at the Clinton School of Public Service about the association's efforts to expand broadband Internet access and the history of the electric co-op.

A group of Upper Peninsula electric users in MISO plans to ask FERC to investigate WEPCo. for allegedly falsifying records to increase its revenues under the Presque Isle SSR.

The ERCOT Board of Directors is looking to stakeholders to improve its reliability-must-run (RMR) practices, as the grid operator sees real-time prices fall 26% in the first half of 2016.

Concerned about the impact of nuclear plant retirements in the state, Michigan officials have asked MISO to conduct a reliability analysis that assumes simultaneous outages at the Palisades and Fermi 2 nuclear plants. 

FERC ordered ISO-NE to provide it more information to prove that the 2013-14 winter reliability program resulted in just and reasonable rates.

MISO wants to end the White Pine SSR for Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, saying the ATC transmission reconfiguration will ensure reliability.
