Hoping for a mild winter is not a sustainable plan for reliability, FERC Chairman Willie Phillips said at a NEPOOL Participants Committee meeting.

ISO-NE provided additional information on the second phase of its Longer-Term Transmission Planning project, which is intended to facilitate transmission investments to meet the states’ policy goals.

ISO-NE outlined how FERC’s time extension for Order 2023 compliance will impact its proposal at a meeting of the NEPOOL Transmission Committee.

Analysis Group outlined the methodology of its study of major changes to the structure of ISO-NE’s Forward Capacity Market (FCM) at the NEPOOL Markets Committee meeting.

NEPOOL members voted to delay FCA 19 by one year, seeking time to revise its capacity accreditation rules and consider a prompt or seasonal market.

ISO-NE plans to request independent entity variations related to its operating assumptions for storage resources and the cluster study timeframe.

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

The largest portion of ISO-NE's budget increase is allocated to adjustments to current employee salaries.
