FERC granted Helix Ravenswood a limited waiver under NYISO’s Tariff to retain its CRIS rights for its deactivated gas turbines in New York City.

SPP and its stakeholders have begun to grapple with the issue of how to use battery storage, but must first determine who will guide the process.

NYISO began an effort to develop a model for allowing front-of-the-meter energy storage resources paired with generation to participate in its markets.

PJM’s Monitor said recently approved maintenance adders to the synchronized reserve calculation allow resources to increase offers above competitive levels.

New York started 2019 around renewable energy and quickened the pace of the most ambitious decarbonization goals in the country.

MISO spent much of 2019 preparing for a massive shift to renewable resources — and 2020 will herald much the same, RTO executives say.

In 2019, ERCOT withstood extreme heat and loss of wind power during some of the hottest days to meet multiple demand peaks exceeding the previous year.

FERC partially accepted NYISO’s plan to comply with a mandate that RTOs and ISOs develop rules to provide storage resources full access to their markets.

NEPOOL focused on how to apply transmission charges to a storage resource when it is charging for later resale and not providing a service.

“Significant and rapid change” will cause challenges with resource adequacy, but utilities can turn the evolving resource mix to their advantage.
