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 NEPOOL Reliability Committee voted to support new data collection standards for distributed energy resources, and ISO-NE outlined potential changes to planning procedures and the affected system operator process.

ISO-NE is decreasing its peak load projections slightly for the next 10 years due to slower-than-expected EV adoption, managed charging programs and changes to its modeling of partial building electrification.

ISO-NE provided more detail in response to stakeholder questions about how the RTO plans to model oil and gas resources as a part of its Resource Capacity Accreditation project.

ISO-NE anticipates little risk of energy shortfall in the summer of 2032.

ISO-NE will propose tariff changes as a result of “lessons learned” from its first competitive transmission solicitation under Order 1000 last year.

ISO-NE proposed an installed capacity requirement of 32,568 MW for FCA 16, a 1,585-MW decrease from FCA 15, at the NEPOOL Reliability Committee meeting.
