ISO-NE presented the NEPOOL Reliability Committee with a proposal to improve how it measures the impact of passive demand resources participating in its capacity auctions.

New England’s total wholesale costs of electricity last year fell 19% to $9.8 billion, according to the ISO-NE Market Monitor’s 2019 Annual Markets Report.

MISO said it will file a one-time waiver with FERC to ensure market participants can replace load-modifying resources impacted by the coronavirus pandemic.

The PJM MIC endorsed an initiative to update the RTO’s business rules to accommodate co-located generation and energy storage hybrid resources.

The ERCOT Technical Advisory Committee unanimously approved a change to how emergency response service resources return following recall.

Utility executives urged MISO to prepare for the imminent change sweeping the grid with the increased adoption of renewable and distributed resources.

The NEPOOL Reliability Committee discussed load forecasting method changes, DC-coupled facilities' participation in the markets and transmission upgrades.

FERC partly accepted NYISO’s compliance filing on buyer-side market power mitigation rules, denying a waiver and rejecting the ISO’s arguments on Tariff language.

The Environmental Defense Fund on released a report on ERCOT‘s competitive energy-only market that concludes it can meet future demand growth, increase grid resilience and keep energy costs down through demand-side solutions.

MISO’s plan to crop some load-modifying resources’ capacity credits remains unpopular with stakeholders, prompting the RTO to postpone the accreditation.
