FERC found that CAISO, ISO-NE and MISO had largely complied with Order 841, but it ordered changes to some of the grid operators’ proposed tariff revisions.

MISO’s system can operate on 50% renewable generation if the RTO greenlights dramatically more transmission and its members embrace new technologies.

FERC accepted an agreement between CAISO and a Calpine plant to provide black start service, but agreed that more cost information was needed.

Representatives from utilities, RTOs and technology vendors gathered at FERC headquarters for a workshop to discuss the role of grid-enhancing technologies.

ERCOT's attempt to alert stakeholders that scheduling entities will be required to submit certificates for electricity resale resulted in a kerfuffle.

The EnVision Forum by FERC and the University of Kentucky’s Center for Applied Energy Research featured discussions on storage, markets and transmission.

MISO executives and some of its state regulators provided sharply contrasting visions of the grid’s move away from fossil fuels and toward renewables.

Promoters of renewable energy worry about reliability as fossil-fuel plants retire and renewable resources are slow to take over, ACORE attendees heard.

FERC again rejected a bid by developers to obtain transmission status and cost-based rates for a proposed $2 billion pumped storage project in CAISO.

The New York PSC expects winter electricity prices will be slightly lower than a year ago, based on a declining price trend and normal weather forecast.
