PJM provided updates to their capacity market redesign proposals at last week’s meeting of the Capacity Construct/Public Policy Senior Task Force (CCPPSTF).

The CEOs of Exelon, PSEG and Dominion praised proposed price supports for nuclear and coal generators during their third-quarter earnings calls.

ISO-NE will integrate more renewable resources and increase its reliance on natural gas-fired generation, according to the RTO’s 2017 Regional System Plan.

FERC denied requests for rehearing of its order that approved capacity market changes to prevent ISO-NE generation owners from economic resource retirement.

ISO-NE has barred Invenergy’s planned Clear River Energy Center Unit 2 from offering into February’s capacity auction because of permitting delays.

PacifiCorp and NV Energy can sell power into the Western Energy Imbalance Market (EIM) at market-based rates, FERC has ruled.

While stakeholders are divided on changes to PJM’s Incremental Auctions, hope remains for a compromise that can be implemented in time for next year’s BRA.

FERC denied NRG’s request for rehearing of an order concerning NYISO Tariff revisions intended to correct an inefficiency in the ISO’s capacity market.

Stakeholders told New York and NYISO officials they are concerned about the transparency and aim of the process being laid out to integrate carbon pricing.

The PJM Independent Market Monitor and other critics say the alternative the RTO proposed to the DOE NOPR would also be expensive and undermine the markets.
