Demand Response
Virtual power plants can help the power grid deal with some of its most pressing issues, such as meeting rising demand and helping to integrate more renewables affordably.
In response to stakeholder criticism, NYISO updated its draft Reliability Needs Assessment to include an executive summary and appendices, and extended the comment period on the report.
The new report argues that discussions about building electrification largely leave out one key issue: how to prepare the grid for the higher demand and new consumption patterns associated with the shift.
Texas regulators have approved ERCOT’s reliability plan for the petroleum-rich Permian Basin that could rely on the state’s first use of 765-kV transmission facilities.
NYISO made significant updates to its assumptions as part of its final Reliability Needs Assessment, which now shows no concern of a capacity deficiency and a loss-of-load expectation of less than 0.1 in 2034.
The CAISO Board of Governors and Western Energy Markets Governing Body passed two proposals that address different issues within Western markets.
Stakeholders appear wary of MISO’s proposed, availability-based accreditation it plans to file with FERC by the end of the year for the RTO’s approximately 12 GW of load-modifying resources.
MISO said it managed a milder summer overall compared to previous years, though it weathered two hurricanes and escalated into emergency warnings during a heat wave.
A PJM discussion on expanding the demand response winter availability window to include a wider range of hours branched off into a broader conversation on how the resource class participates in the RTO's capacity market.
The NYISO Operating Committee approved revisions to the 2024-01 Expedited Delivery Study, finding that all nine proposed projects are deliverable at their requested capacity resource interconnection service levels.
