Negotiators trying to keep the Ginna nuclear power plant in New York financially viable have been given a three-week extension by state regulators.

FERC will accept comments until Feb. 19 on price formation in RTO and ISO energy and ancillary services markets.

Massachusetts needs additional natural gas pipeline capacity to avoid severe energy shortages in the next few decades, a study concluded.

Negotiations that could determine the future of the R.E. Ginna nuclear plant in upstate New York are set to conclude this week.

PJM generation owners conducted winter preparation tests of 156 infrequently used power plants between Dec. 5 and Jan. 2.

The EPA will delay its three proposed carbon emission rules until mid-summer, as it coordinates their release to address new, existing and modified power plants during the same time frame.

MISO and reliability watchdogs have reached a settlement over self-reported violations related to MISO’s ability to maintain visibility over its reliability coordinator area following a contingency event.

NYISO said that its new capacity zone has convinced generation owners to reopen several shuttered power plants, delaying potential reliability concerns.

Depressed coal stockpiles have led to increases in MISO’s off-peak power prices and the cost impacts could increase with a repeat of last winter’s severe cold, officials said last week.

PJM officials are seeking to postpone generation retirements — or accelerate planned new generation — to help the RTO ride through potential shortages next winter.
