CAISO declared a Stage 2 emergency Friday as wildfire in Oregon nearly shut down a major transmission pathway between California and the Pacific Northwest.

Thousands of customers of Avista Utilities lost power during a record-smashing heat wave when the utility ordered rolling blackouts in Spokane, Wash.

FERC approved CAISO's controversial rule changes on wheel-throughs, intended to ensure the ISO has adequate capacity this summer.

In his annual State of the Market report, MISO’s Monitor said transmission congestion and heightened ramping needs continue to dog the RTO.

The first amended agreements are trickling in following FERC's 2018 decision to reinstate transmission owners’ rights to self-fund network upgrades.

MISO execs say long-term transmission and a capacity market redesign are a must in response to rising climate risks and fleet change.

SPP accrued $13.25 million in market-to-market settlements from MISO for April, pushing its total to $146.63 million since the process began in 2014.

Con Edison is staking its future on clean, emissions-free energy, going “all-in” on electric vehicles, energy efficiency and storage, CEO Tim Cawley said.

Without any financial incentives from the federal level, utilities are unlikely to make the huge investments needed to deploy grid-enhancing technologies.

MISO is testing a new cost-sharing plan for members that use the regional transfer limit linking its Midwest and South regions.
