June’s peak demand in ERCOT’s footprint came within 116 MW of last June’s peak, a sign that consumer demand and summer heat are nearing normal levels.

The NYISO Management Committee discussed the ISO's draft 2020 budget, two July heat waves, and new energy and business management systems in development.

The MISO footprint didn’t come close to its forecasted summertime peak, but ways to improve resource adequacy were on the minds of those at Board Week.

A call for conservation, higher-than-expected wind energy and lower-than-expected temperatures helped ERCOT avoid taking emergency actions.

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

SPP set a new record for system demand Monday, Aug. 19, as a heat wave sizzled through the southern Midwest and Great Plains.

CAISO on Monday called on consumers to voluntarily conserve energy this week as scorching heat drove up electricity usage and caused outages.

The Market Implementation Committee will consider changes to PJM’s real-time pricing mechanism, which RTO officials say is depressing energy and reserve prices.

PJM’s weather normalized summer peak increased by almost 1% in 2013, the largest increase since load growth resumed after the recession.

PJM proposed a change in its real-time pricing mechanism, saying the current methodology is depressing energy and reserve prices.
