CAISO is close to finalizing a long-running effort to reduce exceptional dispatch of generation to resolve transmission constraints.

Coal's best hope may be that FERC adopt the DOE grid study's recommendation to lean on RTOs to value on-site fuel storage as a proxy for resiliency.

NERC staff told SPP’s registered entities they have until Oct. 31 to submit their transfer requests to another Regional Entity.

ERCOT said that system conditions remained stable despite downed transmission lines that cut power to over 300,000 customers following Hurricane Harvey.

The U.S. Energy Department’s study acknowledges its limited authority over wholesale markets, leaving it to FERC and RTOs to act on its recommendations.

U.S. grid operators, the ISOs and RTOs across the country, were well prepared for the first continent-wide total solar eclipse in nearly a century.

PJM staff have completed analysis of Reliability Pricing Model projects and are nearly finished examining interregional projects.

NERC will host a webinar Aug. 25 to help the current members of SPP’s Regional Entity transition to new compliance authorities.

A NERC official told MISO that recommendations to utilities for restoring power after the loss of normal communication are unlikely to become binding.

CAISO is moving ahead with an effort to create new tools to deal with the variable output from the increasing amount of renewable generation on its grid.
