ISO-NE warns that the region’s near-term grid reliability depends on its access to LNG — and that access in turn relies on a single facility outside Boston.

State regulatory staff and MISO executives found no easy answers to solve a burgeoning reliability crisis after converging for a resource adequacy summit.

SPP’s Board of Directors has sided with staff in approving an increase of the RTO’s planning reserve margin to 15%, effective next year.

MISO leadership last week committed to holding future talks with stakeholders on how to retool its capacity auction to stimulate more supply.
