ISO-NE CEO Gordon van Welie said implementing a carbon price in New England would be “simple” but state officials need to support it before the RTO can act.

A PJM task force considering carbon pricing continued its education sessions with an analysis on the impact of Virginia and Pennsylvania joining RGGI.

RTO Insider held a webinar with regulators from five of PJM’s biggest states to find out how they plan to respond to FERC’s Dec. 19 order expanding MOPR.

Testifiers told a Pennsylvania legislative panel joining RGGI undermines the state’s energy production dominance and does not accelerate CO2 emissions.

PJM won’t run a capacity auction until FERC approves the RTO’s compliance filing implementing the expansion of its MOPR, making it unlikely for this year.

PJM's diverse geographic footprint produced divergent opinions on the viability of carbon pricing in the RTO's market at OPSI's annual meeting in Baltimore.

Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf signed an executive order directing the Department of Environmental Protection to join the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative.

The ISO-NE Consumer Liaison Group met in Portland, Maine, to hear from the region’s residents and share with them the latest activities at the RTO.

A $63/ton carbon price could drive New York state's clean energy penetration to as high as 64% of the state’s resource mix by 2025.

PJM stakeholders appear ready and willing to explore carbon pricing in the RTO — a prospect that concerns utilities in coal-heavy states.
