FERC upheld its order that MISO could no longer broadly allocate the SSR costs of three power plants in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.

Generators would be permitted to sell frequency response services at market-based rates under a rule proposed by FERC last week.

FERC last week approved NERC's new risk-based approach to reliability compliance monitoring and enforcement, the Reliability Assurance Initiative (RAI).

PJM set a new winter record for electricity use Friday, with demand hitting about 143,800 MW as dozens of cities broke low temperature records.

The owner of the R.E. Ginna nuclear plant announced an agreement with Rochester Gas & Electric that will keep the plant operating for more than three years.

ISO-NE chose Eversource Energy and National Grid to build a $740 million land-based transmission project to solve reliability problems in the Boston area, rejecting a more expensive undersea cable proposal by NextEra.

The Michigan PSC wants FERC to force MISO to turn over a study used to identify areas that require the operation of system support resources (SSR) in the state’s Upper Peninsula.

FERC approved a revised reliability standard proposed by NERC that requires testing and maintenance of auto-reclosing relays.

ISO-NE must find a market-based solution for ensuring adequate generation by next winter, the FERC said last week in a clarification of a previous order.

The mild winter that has moderated energy prices in New England shouldn’t lull policy makers into complacence, ISO-NE CEO Gordon van Welie said.
