MISO doesn’t foresee a scenario where it comes close to risky operations in the upcoming winter.

ISO-NE reiterated its plans not to include in its capacity auction reform project the development of ambient temperature modeling capabilities or a new simultaneous seasonal auction clearing engine.

The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected Entergy’s challenge of MISO’s seasonal capacity accreditation and generator outage rules, two years after FERC approved the rules.

FERC said it needs more explanation behind MISO’s plan to use a capacity accreditation that would accredit resources based on a combination of their projected availability and historical performance during periods of high system risk.

As it gears up to run its first auctions using sloped demand curves, MISO said prices and procurement would have risen had it used them in this year’s auctions.

FERC once again said it needs more information on clearing price caps before MISO can proceed with sloped demand curves in its capacity auctions.

ISO-NE told the NEPOOL Markets Committee that it is proposing a major redesign to its capacity market, moving from a three-years-ahead schedule to a prompt and seasonal design.

Analysis Group presented its final report on converting ISO-NE's Forward Capacity Market to a prompt, seasonal construct.

ISO-NE should move to a prompt and seasonal capacity market to better accommodate the evolving mix of resources and reliability risks in the region, Analysis Group told stakeholders at the NEPOOL Markets Committee meeting.
