PJM's year was punctuated by changes in the capacity market as votes by stakeholders led to the implementation of the RTO’s narrowed MOPR.

Resource adequacy concerns and market rules and transmission infrastructure to support state clean energy policies highlight the issues facing ISO-NE in 2022.

The NEPOOL Markets Committee will vote in January on two proposals to modify ISO-NE’s generator retirement rules.

Merchant generators joined ISO-NE’s Internal Market Monitor in warning that the RTO’s proposal to eliminate MOPR will suppress prices.

FERC declined rehearing requests of its inaction on PJM’s narrowed MOPR after a 2-2 tie vote, setting up further action in appellate court.

Vermont DPS Commissioner June Tierney says ISO-NE must “achieve reliability, fueled by renewability with a keen eye on affordability.”

The PJM Power Providers Group petitioned the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals to review PJM’s narrowed MOPR after FERC deadlocked on the RTO’s proposal.

PJM's narrowed minimum offer price rule, which took effect Sept. 29 after a 2-2 FERC deadlock, is likely headed for an appellate court review.

PJM's "focused" MOPR will undermine the RTO's ability to “get the price right,” say former Commissioner Tony Clark and former PJM SVP Vince Duane.  

Chair Richard Glick said “good riddance” to PJM’s old MOPR after FERC deadlocked on the proposed replacement, causing it to automatically go into effect.
