The New England Power Pool Markets Committee continued to discuss impact assessments of ISO-NE’s proposed energy security improvements.

New England regulators and stakeholders told FERC they fear ISO-NE’s fuel security proposal could increase costs without solving winter supply concerns.

ISO-NE advised FERC that it is revising its fuel security analysis for FCA 14 to assume more natural gas use and bigger contributions from renewables.

FERC has agreed to New England’s request for a public “prefiling” meeting to discuss the region’s plans for long-term fuel security.

The New England Power Pool Markets Committee rejected ISO-NE’s interim proposal for compensating generators for fuel security. But the RTO plans to file the plan with FERC with or without stakeholder endorsement.

New England Power Pool stakeholders are discussing potential changes to ISO-NE wholesale energy markets to improve winter fuel security.

FERC tentatively accepted a cost-of-service agreement between Exelon and ISO-NE for Mystic 8 and 9, ordering an expedited hearing process.

FERC denied ISO-NE’s request for a Tariff waiver to keep Exelon’s Mystic plant running, instead ordering the RTO to allow cost-of-service agreements.
