MISO said it will design an expedited resource adequacy study process so generation projects in the interconnection queue that are needed for capacity sufficiency will get grid treatment sooner.

Load-serving entities that decide against participating in MISO’s capacity auction must secure anywhere from 1.5% to 4.2% beyond their reserve margin requirements in the 2025/26 planning year.

MISO members will likely have to add 343 GW of installed capacity by 2043 to meet policy goals while maintaining resource adequacy, the RTO said in preliminary results from its annual Regional Resource Assessment.

Change is coming to FERC after Tuesday's election, but the policies the agency oversees are rarely top of mind during campaigns, so it is unclear how much will be different.

SPP’s Board of Directors has approved the RTO’s 2025 operating and capital budgets and its net revenue requirement following a unanimous endorsement by the Members Committee.

The NCUC approved Duke Energy's second Carbon Plan and Integrated Resource Plan, authorizing procurements of renewable energy, nuclear and demand response, while calling for its 8,000 MW of coal to be retired in 2036.

The NYISO Management Committee passed the draft Reliability Needs Assessment and recommended that the Board of Directors approve it at its next meeting.

Dominion Energy reported net income of $953 million in the third quarter this year, as it continued to see load growth from data centers, progress on its offshore wind project, and infrastructure damage from Hurricane Helene.

A common refrain at FERC’s technical conference on the co-location of data centers was that the issue is just part the broader problem of resource adequacy.

Xcel Energy is welcoming the coming wave of data centers despite the increased demand they will place on the grid, saying it will accelerate transmission and generation build.
