NYISO and its stakeholders continued their review of the capacity market’s structure with at-times philosophical debate on the market’s purpose in New York

Former FERC and Texas PUC Chair Pat Wood talked about the early days of power markets and their future at Yes Energy's EMPOWER Conference.

The Bonneville Power Administration announced it intends to join SPP’s Markets+, saying in its draft policy that the day-ahead market “is the best long-term strategic direction for Bonneville, its customers and the Northwest.”

New England energy market revenues increased by roughly 150% in the winter of 2024/25 compared to the prior winter.

MISO estimates its savings and efficiencies benefited its members to the tune of just over $5 billion over 2024.

The House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Energy looked into demand growth, which both parties recognized as an opportunity that could benefit policy changes, though plenty of daylight exists on how to address it.

Proponents of SPP’s Markets+ argued in their last “issue alert” that the day-ahead market option provides a robust footprint with “exceptional generation and load diversity” across the region while also claiming recent warnings about its seam with CAISO’s EDAM are overblown.

The Bonneville Power Administration should remain in CAISO’s WEIM and hold off on joining a day-ahead market, Seattle City Light and other Northwest parties urged in a letter sent to BPA CEO John Hairston.

MISO is nearing an overhaul of its capacity accreditation methods for load-modifying resources and demand response that would be based on whether they can assist during periods of high system risk.

ERCOT stakeholders have begun discussions on a pair of protocol revision requests related to the grid operator’s real-time co-optimization and battery project, set to go live in December.
