New England is not facing the same warnings as other regions this summer, but severe heat could still force ISO-NE into emergency actions, the RTO said.

NYISO foresees having adequate generating capacity margins for normal weather conditions this summer, without emergency operating actions.

MISO transmission customers argued to FERC that MISO should allow customers to decrement their load penalty-free to lessen the possibility of summer blackouts.

FERC commissioners expressed alarm over forecasts of potential supply shortfalls this summer in the West, ERCOT, MISO and SPP.

Texas grid leaders met with reporters to once again allay concerns about ERCOT’s management of the state’s electric supply.

Drought, wildfires, plant retirements and transmission outages have elevated the risk of supply shortfalls in the West, Texas, MISO and SPP, NERC said.

SPP expects to have enough generating capacity to meet regional demand this summer, but it has already issued the season's first resource advisory.

MISO warned that even a normal amount of demand and generation outages will likely send it into emergency procedures this summer.

ERCOT stakeholders approved a binding document revision that codifies the grid operator’s plans to deploy more operating reserves to ensure summer readiness.

In a rare move, CAISO will use its capacity procurement mechanism to obtain more resources after other measures fell short, threatening summer blackouts.
