Attorneys for Powhatan Energy Fund and Kevin Gates accused FERC's Office of Enforcement of withholding information that could exonerate their clients in a high-profile market manipulation case.

MISO’s Market Monitor urged FERC last week to resolve a standoff between MISO and PJM over interface pricing that he said is costing consumers millions.

The RTO stakeholder process came under fire last week at a FERC technical conference on the treatment of financial transactions in PJM.

PJM’s request to raise the cost-based energy offer cap to $1,800/MWh through March drew a flurry of comments and protests in the days before Christmas.

Md. PSC staff said Exelon should increase its proposed credit to customers as a condition of approval of the company's merger with Pepco, while the OPC said the commission should reject the deal.

PJM IMM Joe Bowring said the RTO should exclude generators from participating in drafting cost development guidelines that determine their compensation.

A cost-benefit analysis released by PJM and the IMM says the RTO's proposed Capacity Performance product would cost ratepayers as much as $6 billion over the next four years.

PJM’s Oct. 7 revisions to its Capacity Performance proposal appear to have won over Independent Market Monitor Joe Bowring.

PJM capacity prices would increase sharply but reliability would not be threatened if a recent federal court ruling eliminated demand response from wholesale markets, the Market Monitor said.

Load representatives concerned by reports of generators’ bidding strategies in May’s PJM capacity auction reacted by threatening to block an initiative by Exelon Corp. to provide more informative supply curves.
