Sheila Keane of the New England States Committee on Electricity discussed the scope of ISO-NE's first longer-term transmission planning solicitation.

ISO-NE is working to add the capability to model preemptive actions to its probabilistic energy adequacy tool, the RTO told the NEPOOL stakeholders.

The New England states are planning to solicit project proposals to increase the region’s north-to-south transmission capacity, the New England States Committee on Electricity said.

ISO-NE is not planning to pursue the development of simultaneously clearing seasonal capacity auctions as part of its capacity auction reform project.

A recently filed proposal by ISO-NE to increase the collateral requirements for generators with capacity supply obligations has received strong pushback from the New England Power Generators Association.

The suspension of ISO-NE's Order 2023 implementation due to FERC's inaction has caused uncertainty and stress for some clean energy developers in New England.

The RTO will next year focus on capacity auction reforms, establishing a regional energy shortfall threshold, complying with FERC orders 1920 and 2023, and implementing market and technology improvements.

The Rhode Island Energy Facilities Siting Board ruled it has jurisdiction over large battery storage projects, overruling precedent.

A proposed transmission project to relieve transmission constraints in Maine has received a major boost with the U.S. Department of Energy’s announcement of an up-to $425 million investment in the project, but challenges still remain.

ISO-NE submitted its compliance to the commission in May, but FERC has yet to rule on the proposal, throwing a wrench in the RTO's implementation timeline.
