With its window for limited tree felling closing in four weeks, Constitution Pipeline is again asking FERC for permission to allow the operation in New York.

Dominion Resources blamed December’s “extremely mild weather” for a 15% drop in its fourth-quarter earnings.

FERC called for an investigation into four interstate natural gas pipelines that it believes might be charging shippers in PJM, ISO-NE, NYISO and CAISO too much.

MISO Monitor David Patton reported that congestion caused by outages and under-scheduling of wind resources were causes for concern.

Greenidge Generation says it hopes to repower the Finger Lakes plant with natural gas as a merchant plant by the middle of next year.

New York has adequate resources and improved operational practices to face the upcoming winter, a NYISO official told FERC.

ISO-NE will again rely on the winter reliability program it has used for the last two winters, which gives oil generators incentives to secure fuel at the beginning of the winter.

New England's states may have to set aside their self-interests to overcome high energy prices, Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker said.

FERC has denied another generator’s request for make-whole payments for natural gas it purchased that was never used during the event, citing rules against retroactive ratemaking.
