Just two days after FERC rejected allegations that MISO was blocking a wind farm from exporting power to PJM, the RTO was hit with a new complaint accusing it of giving special treatment to external generators seeking to deliver power into the Midwest.
Capacity Performance resources cleared at $151.50/MW-day in the transition auction for the 2017/18 delivery year, PJM said Wednesday.
PJM's 2016/17 transition auction results were released shortly after the stock market closed at 4 p.m. Monday — coincidentally during an EUCI conference in Cambridge, Mass., that attracted PJM Market Monitor Joe Bowring, PJM Chief Economist Paul Sotkiewicz and Jim Wilson, a consultant to consumer advocates in PJM.
Registered wind capacity in MISO is projected to rise 50% by the end of 2019 — and that’s not even counting more turbines likely to sprout due to the Clean Power Plan.
MISO officials outlined proposals to boost its capacity resources, winning support for efforts to streamline the generator interconnection process and redraw its zonal boundaries to reflect constraints.
FERC Commissioner Tony Clark said that the commission has “a sense of urgency” to take action on price formation issues after initiating an inquiry into the subject more than a year ago.
