ERCOT's Board of Directors has remanded a contentious rule change on IRB ride-through requirements back to the Technical Advisory Committee to reduce the "daylight" between opposition positions.

Grid operators reported zero issues managing the bulk electric system as Monday’s total eclipse briefly shaded solar panels across ISO-NE, NYISO, MISO, SPP and ERCOT.

Texas regulators have adopted a new rule establishing the Texas Energy Fund In-ERCOT Generation Loan Program, a $5 billion fund designed to bring new dispatchable power projects to the state.

The upcoming April 8 solar eclipse will run a course from central Mexico to Newfoundland, but grid operators far from its path of totality will be dealing with its impact.

PJM's Operating Committee discussed low reserve response during a spin event in February and the possible impact April's solar eclipse could have on generation and load.

CAISO maintained normal grid operations during the Oct. 14 solar eclipse, with swings in solar production that were more muted than models based on clear-sky conditions.

ERCOT said it did not experience grid reliability issues with the loss of solar generation during Saturday’s annular solar eclipse, in what some saw as a performance check before next year’s total eclipse.

ERCOT expects normal grid conditions during Saturday’s solar eclipse when solar resources will see their output reduced.
