ISO-NE kicked off NEPOOL discussions for the second phase of its capacity auction reform project, beginning long-awaited talks on accreditation and seasonal capacity auction changes.

MISO said a yearslong software error caused it to clear more capacity than intended in past capacity auctions and which has resulted in an approximate $280 million impact to market participants in this year’s auction.
