FERC granted Goldman Sachs Renewable Power Marketing authority to make market-based sales but said it would consider it an affiliate of The Goldman Sachs Group investment bank despite its objections.

FERC denied what might be a final bid to recalibrate the results of MISO’s 2015/16 capacity auction, blocking Public Citizen’s request for rehearing.

FERC declined to reconsider two orders upholding NEPOOL’s gag rule but allowing an RTO Insider reporter to join the organization’s End User sector.

FERC denied a complaint that alleged PJM failed to disclose nearly $500,000 in political spending it purportedly financed with fees collected from rates.

Public Citizen asked FERC to rehear its ruling dismissing complaints over MISO’s 2015/16 capacity auction, saying it failed to justify its findings.

Critics said the U.S. DOE’s proposal for designating electric infrastructure information could be a Trojan horse to subsidize coal and nuclear power.

Public Citizen is urging the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to start overseeing PJM’s embattled financial transmission rights market.

An advocacy group accused PJM of violating the Federal Power Act by making political contributions with membership funds. PJM said the payments were to allow staff access to energy-related policy summits and not to support any candidate.

Stakeholders have responded to ISO-NE’s filing of a proposed two-stage capacity auction with a flurry of comments to FERC.

MISO obtained a one-time waiver of the deadline for its 2017/18 capacity auction from FERC because of technical difficulties on the RTO’s market platform.
