FERC has approved PJM’s proposal for selling back excess capacity in this February’s third Incremental Auction for the 2017/18 delivery year.

PJM’s Independent Market Monitor urged FERC to address longstanding concerns over demand response providers and others selling “paper capacity.”

After its first full year under new CEO Andy Ott, and the last year of its transition to 100% Capacity Performance, PJM heads into 2017.

For MISO, 2017 will likely be filled with capacity auction changes, cost allocation debates, an updated interconnection queue and transmission studies.

FERC said that MISO can use the PJM technology-specific reference levels for market mitigation in its 2017/18 capacity auction.

New England policymakers hope to reach agreement in 2017 on revised market rules to accommodate state clean energy policies.

Dynegy says it will sell generation if necessary to address FERC's market power concerns over the company’s acquisition of ENGIE's power generation unit.

FERC has issued a deficiency notice requesting more information from PJM on its proposal to incorporate more seasonal resources under Capacity Performance.

FERC rejected a request to rehear its order blocking PJM Tariff changes which it said undercut approved Capacity Performance rules.
