CAISO’s Market Monitor cautioned that a new resource adequacy proposal could lead to strategic gaming in the ISO’s market when capacity supplies are tight on the grid.
MISO says it needs more time to finish meting out refunds, nearly a dozen years after a complaint was first raised to lower its transmission owners’ base return on equity.
IESO system planners recommended the construction of a $1.5 billion HVDC line to meet Toronto’s growing energy needs, saying it would be more “future proof” than two cheaper options.
The forthcoming resignation of Connecticut Public Utilities Regulatory Authority Chair Marissa Gillett has created high-stakes questions around the state’s adoption of a comprehensive performance-based regulation framework.
Democrats introduced a FERC-heavy bill to control electricity costs, House Energy & Commerce Committee Republicans tout bills passed out of committee, DOE returns $13 billion and some details from the Dallas Fed survey.
MISO has slashed earlier renewable energy estimates and boosted natural gas contributions in its transmission planning futures in a rethink brought on by the Trump administration’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
IESO has increased the capacity target for its planned solicitation for long lead-time resources, even as it acknowledges questions about the need for the procurement.
In New England, rules governing how new resources connect to the regional grid limit full use of the system’s potential. Precious “surplus” capacity can and should be leveraged to interconnect new, low-cost clean energy technologies to deliver more reliable, affordable power, says Alex Lawton.
SPP says accelerating load projections will result in a 2025 transmission plan that dwarfs the previous year’s record $7.65 billion portfolio — so much so that it is considering deferring some projects until 2026.
Utilities face significant forecasting risks from large loads, prompting the industry to develop various strategies to eliminate speculative projects, experts said during a Western Interstate Energy Board webinar.
