Winter is replacing summer as the period of greatest stress on the BPS thanks to a diversity of fuel sources, NERC’s State of Reliability Report said.

System operators in WECC were too quick to declare energy emergency alerts during recent events, resulting in unnecessary load sheds, according to NERC.

MISO and SPP are optimistic the RTOs will finally agree on an interregional transmission project, they said at GCPA's 7th annual MISO South Conference.

SPP’s energy prices and average hourly load this summer were below 2018 levels, while generator outages and congestion both increased, the RTO’s MMU said.

An August energy emergency alert that had SPP one contingency away from shedding load has renewed calls for scarcity pricing to ensure adequate reserves.

ERCOT CEO Bill Magness and Texas PUC Chair DeAnn Walker will attend NERC’s Board of Trustees meeting to discuss the grid operator’s slender reserve margins.

FERC Commissioner Richard Glick gave a keynote speech at the Annual Gas and Power Institute in Houston, where he discussed the tension at the commission.

The SPP Seams Steering Committee discussed last month's level 1 energy emergency alert and, the RTO's 3rd unsuccessful attempt to partner with MISO.

ERCOT asked Texans to reduce their electricity usage Thursday and Friday, when the state is expected to see some of the highest temperatures of the year.

ERCOT CEO Bill Magness briefed the Texas Public Utility Commission on his organization’s response to the intense August heat.
