California is setting records with battery energy storage operating on its grid every day, but in one Southern California beach county, residents have come out in large numbers to oppose a proposed 250-MW battery project because of safety and aesthetic concerns.

FERC’s resource adequacy technical conference zoomed out on the second day, June 5, with several panels examining ISO-NE, MISO and NYISO.

ERCOT has told Texas regulators that it has reached an agreement with LifeCycle Power that clears the way for 15 mobile generators to be relocated from Houston to San Antonio to provide additional capacity.

ERCOT stakeholders advanced a protocol change that provides longer-duration ancillary services and state-of-charge parameters, among several other voting items, during their last TAC meeting.

ERCOT's blossoming clean energy sector has been threatened by bills that would dampen its growth and future investment, but many of those laws appear to have fallen by the wayside in the Texas legislature's closing days.

CAISO is moving forward with a key initiative to resolve how battery storage resources function on the grid as the battery boom continues in the Golden State. 

The PJM Markets and Reliability Committee endorsed a proposal intended to add transparency to the RTO’s effective load-carrying capability process.

NYISO presented an outline of how it plans to implement storage-as-transmission assets, drawing critiques from stakeholders representing end-use customers and generators.
