ISO-NE’s Energy Security Improvements initiative hit a snag when the NEPOOL Markets Committee failed to recommend it to the Participants Committee.

MISO Board of Directors Chair Phyllis Currie reflected on the unprecedented circumstances that converted the RTO’s Board Week into a teleconference format.

The pandemic was such an unprecedented shock to the system that PJM is trying to stop its near-term load forecasting algorithm from using it in modeling.

FERC approved settlements of two complaints over PJM’s regulation market design despite opposition from Dominion Energy and the Independent Market Monitor.

The tamest winter in recent memory brought no emergencies for MISO, though the RTO’s South region was the subject of three weather-related alerts.

FERC denied rehearings on orders rejecting PJM’s efforts to stop capacity market participants from attempting to arbitrage between the BRA and Incremental Auctions.

MISO’s weekday loads are looking more like weekends as social distancing measures to lessen COVID-19 cases take hold in more states in the footprint.

FERC rejected rehearing requests over the commission’s November 2017 order approving PJM’s tougher requirements for pseudo-tied generators.

PJM’s expanded MOPR may not hinder renewables as much as some had feared if the RTO’s interpretation of FERC’s Dec. 19 order is accepted by the commission.

FERC denied what might be a final bid to recalibrate the results of MISO’s 2015/16 capacity auction, blocking Public Citizen’s request for rehearing.
