With the exception of three nor’easters, system operations in March were relatively uneventful, PJM told Operating Committee meeting attendees.

FERC Commissioner Robert Powelson said ISO New England (ISO-NE) needs to overcome its aversion to new energy infrastructure to avoid natural gas shortages in the winter.

RTO officials asked FERC to allow their stakeholder processes time to develop additional resilience measures and to require more gas-electric coordination.

ISO-NE is racing to relieve natural gas pipelines constraints and interconnect new resources, CEO Gordon van Welie said.

CAISO defended its deployment of gas price adders that have been activated frequently in the face of cold weather, wildfires and concerns about pipeline outages.

ISO-NE’s 2018 Regional Electricity Outlook reiterates concerns about fuel security that were detailed in a separate report published by the RTO last month.

Constitution Pipeline asked FERC to reconsider a January order upholding a denial of the company’s water permit application by New York environmental regulators, saying the commission “erred” in its interpretation of the federal Clean Water Act.

Midwest gas-fired generators have made incremental improvements to ensure fuel supply over the past year, MISO stakeholders learned.

Generators fared better during the early January cold snap than in the 2014 polar vortex, officials told Congress, but New England needs to take urgent preventative action.

ISO-NE is increasingly reliant on natural gas-fired generation, and LNG and electricity imports to maintain reliability, a new report shows.
