FERC and NERC cautioned against overreacting to last year's substation sabotage, with two FERC commissioners taking a swipe at a former colleague who has been sounding the alarm.

Two members of the Senate Energy committee cited PJM to support their concerns about the impact of the Environmental Protection Agency’s pending greenhouse gas regulations.

FERC was within its rights to approve PJM’s controversial capacity market MOPR rule changes in 2011, a federal appeals court ruled.

FERC will hold a technical conference April 1 to discuss issues raised by this winter’s extreme cold, which exposed vulnerabilities in the grid’s increasing reliance on natural-gas fired generation.

FERC clarified Order 784, its 2013 rule opening the ancillary services markets to more competition from energy storage.

FERC ordered PJM and financial traders to submit briefs in a long-running dispute over excess line-loss revenues.

PJM and other grid operators will face unprecedented reliability challenges in the next several years as federal environmental regulations and low energy and capacity prices threaten to sideline baseload coal and nuclear capacity, federal and PJM officials told state regulators.

PJM wants to change the way virtual trades pay for uplift, replacing the current unpredictable charges with a flat per megawatt fee and assessing them for the first time on up-to congestion trades (UTCs).

High-cost gas-fired generators will be able to set PJM market clearing prices above $1,000/MWh for the remainder of the winter, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ruled.

Load serving entities in PJM are starting to calculate how much their bills are going to increase for a frigid January, and they aren’t happy about it.
