NYISO's transmission planning requirements result in a need for more capacity than is required in the ISO’s market rules, according to Potomac Economics, the Market Monitoring Unit.

FERC authorized MISO’s move to a capacity accreditation method that blends probabilistic availability with historical unit performance.
