President Trump announced he will nominate Virginia State Corporation Commission Chair Mark Christie and clean energy activist Allison Clements to FERC.

FERC accepted Tariff revisions filed by ISO-NE and the NEPOOL Participants Committee to make clean-up changes and enhancements to the RTO’s billing policy.

RTOs will need uniform interconnection processes if hybrid and co-located resources are to provide flexible, cost-effective service, panelists in a FERC conference said.

The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals granted FERC’s request for a delay in responding to the court’s order barring the commission’s use of tolling orders.

FERC approved SOO Green’s request to charge negotiated rates on its 2,100-MW transmission line that would deliver renewable energy from MISO to PJM.

FERC accepted an uncontested settlement agreement between SPP and NIPCO over the latter’s annual transmission revenue requirement.

FERC approved a market power mitigation plan for an investment fund’s $4.3B purchase of El Paso Electric and rejected rehearing requests challenging its approval.

FERC approved NYISO’s revised buyer-side market power mitigation rules, prompting a scathing dissent from Commissioner Richard Glick.

FERC accepted SPP Tariff revisions implementing recommendations from the RTO’s stakeholders on fast-start resources and ramping products.

PJM, CAISO and SPP took a step closer to the full implementation of Order 841 with FERC’s partial acceptance of their Tariff revisions.
