Form Energy hopes to use its long-duration iron-air batteries to firm up renewable energy generation across extended stretches in New England.

The OPSI annual meeting debated PJM’s recent capacity market filing and whether the RTO needs to consider changes to its energy and reserve markets.  

ISO-NE can consider transmission-only battery storage as an option to address transmission system issues, FERC ruled.

Market monitors from all six FERC-jurisdictional ISO/RTOs endorsed calls for a NERC-like gas reliability organization.

ISO-NE is pursuing an alternative compliance pathway on FERC Order 2023 regarding storage resource interconnection, hoping to sidestep the need for “control technology,” the RTO told the NEPOOL Transmission Committee.

Transmission upgrades that are needed to avoid overloads in a fully electrified New England by 2050 could cumulatively cost between $22 billion and $26 billion, ISO-NE told its Planning Advisory Committee.

FERC reversed its previous determination that “all interested parties can review and challenge Mystic’s revenue credits and tank congestion charges” in the annual true-up process.

FERC agreed to delay the implementation date in the forward capacity market while clarifying that host utilities are not excluded from the flow of metering information to the RTO.

ISO-NE detailed its 2024 annual work plan, while NEPOOL approved ISO-NE's 2024 budget.
