FERC received several protests to Constellation's proposed purchase of Calpine, with PJM's Monitor arguing the companies need to make additional commitments to preserve competition in the RTO.

FERC denied a merger proposal in which Bridgepoint tried to buy a 19.9% stake in Energy Capital Partners, saying it did so without prejudice because the first firm failed to disclose its relationship with a third – Blue Owl.

Dynegy (NYSE:DYN) will buy out Energy Capital Partners’ stake in their joint venture to buy 17 fossil fuel plants owned by French utility ENGIE (EPA:ENGI).

Dynegy and Energy Capital Partners are buying 8.7 GW of generation in PJM, ISO-NE and — in a first for Dynegy —  ERCOT.

FERC denied rehearing of its June decision certifying the ninth Forward Capacity Auction results in ISO-NE.

The union representing workers at the Brayton Point plant say the plant’s pending closure caused massive price spikes in recent ISO-NE capacity auctions.

FERC approved the purchase of 12,500 MW of generation from Duke Energy and Energy Capital Partners by Dynegy, the final approval needed for both deals.

Dynegy has reached a settlement with PJM’s Market Monitor to alleviate market power concerns over its purchase of 12,400 MW of generation from Duke and ECP.
