PJM’s Market Monitor has weighed in on a MISO dispute over whether generation owners can be compensated for their plants’ sunk costs when the plants are prevented from retiring in order to maintain grid reliability.

Dynegy said last week it will seek to move its Illinois generation to PJM unless MISO changes its capacity market rules.

Dynegy’s purchase of Energy Capital Partners’ New England power plants will immediately make it a major participant in ISO-NE.

Dynegy announced Friday it will nearly double its capacity with the purchase of about 12,400 MW of generation from Duke Energy and private equity firm Energy Capital Partners.

PJM member companies FirstEnergy, Duke Energy, NRG Energy, Dynegy and AES all announced second-quarter earnings last week.
