FERC has denied requests to shut down debate on whether PJM’s Capacity Performance construct should make room for seasonal resources.

NYISO experienced a peak load of 31,293 MW on July 2, the highest demand so far this summer but falling far short of the all-time peak of 33,956 MW.

The ERCOT system set a new record for June peak demand last week, reaching 69 GW on June 27.

ERCOT will have more breathing room as it prepares for record demand this summer after an additional 525MW of generation recently came online in Texas.

While MISO says it’s ready for a warmer-than-normal summer, officials cautioned that operators will likely lean on demand response (DR) resources to manage loads during the season.

State and consumer representatives asked for education sessions during the first meeting of PJM’s new Summer-Only Demand Response Senior Task Force.

ERCOT’s summer peak demand is expected to reach 85.01 GW by 2027, a 22.36% increase over this summer’s peak.

MISO officials are examining how they can capture the risk of planned and maintenance outages occurring during peak load.

MISO’s staff and Independent Market Monitor convened to commend RTO operations personnel for a successful season.

MISO’s system operated as intended in June, which saw the usual early summer peak loads and lower-than-expected natural gas prices.
