The minimum offer price rule (MOPR) was a controversial topic at last week’s FERC technical conference.

In the afternoon of day one of FERC's major technical conference focused on PJM, with CEO Andy Ott, IMM Joe Bowring and state regulators testifying.

Speakers told FERC this week that RTO capacity markets are in serious danger from state renewable procurements and subsidies for nuclear plants.

SPP and the Mountain West Transmission Group pitched the benefits of RTO membership in an open forum before Colorado’s Public Utilities Commission.

Renewable energy made gains in some states, but other state election results were not as favorable or as expected.

What does a Donald Trump energy policy look like? Count the Clean Power Plan, DOE's R&D budget and FERC's Norman Bay among the losers.

PJM Market Monitor Joe Bowring and others debated the role and value of the RTO's financial transmission rights market at OPSI's annual meeting last week.

FERC effectively ended their 13-month inquiry of the SPP audit of MMU's independence without interviewing Oversight Committee Joshua W. Martin III.

Joe Bowring and David Patton often disagree, but they are 100% in agreement on the need for independence in market monitoring.

The record shows that until the last 18 months, the SPP Market Monitoring Unit generally filed only testimony packaged with RTO filings.
