FERC approved filings by two Massachusetts utilities establishing distribution fees for standalone electric energy storage systems that connect to the distribution system but participate in ISO-NE wholesale markets.

Participants at the United States Energy Association’s 2025 State of the Energy Industry Forum discussed topics such as demand growth, nuclear fusion and energy efficiency.

FERC accepted MISO’s second try at Order 2222 compliance, allowing MISO time to prepare through mid-2029 before it fully accepts aggregators of distributed energy resources into its markets in 2030.

The Organization of MISO States advised MISO that it needs a central data-sharing platform for the participation of DER aggregators in its wholesale market.
