CAISO, ISO-NE and NYISO look to be the pacesetters in opening the country’s organized electricity markets to greater participation by DERs.

PJM's MRC heard about the ongoing search for a new CEO and debated dueling proposals from the RTO and Enel X to update load management testing requirements.

ERCOT stakeholders approved the creation of a battery energy storage task force as the grid operator steps up its efforts to accommodate the resource type.

MISO is home to more than 4.5 GW of unregistered distributed energy resources, much of it for nonresidential use, the Organization of MISO States estimates.

Exelon told the PJM Operating Committee it is near agreement with RTO staff on business rules for non-retail behind-the-meter generation.

FERC is asking the RTOs for information on aggregated DER portfolios in their wholesale markets, the first significant movement in over a year.

NYISO said several of its market design projects are behind schedule, leading some to question whether it has taken on more initiatives than it can handle.

The PJM Markets and Reliability Committee discussed the work of the Financial Risk Mitigation Senior Task Force and approved several manual changes.

Advanced Energy Economy members are eager for FERC to issue a final rule breaking down barriers to participation in wholesale markets for DERs.

State regulators should establish standards to ensure the cybersecurity of DERs, experts said at NARUC's 2019 Summer Policy Summit.
