Consumer advocates, environmentalists, wind and solar developers and public power called on FERC Tuesday to “review the design of organized wholesale electricity markets, particularly capacity constructs” in its resiliency docket.

Following FERC’s technical conference on tensions between wholesale electric markets and policy initiatives, the commission invited comments on five paths.

Public interest groups say they were shut out of last week’s FERC technical conference on tensions between state energy policies and wholesale markets.

ISO-NE presented its proposal for a two-tiered capacity auction that would incorporate state-mandated renewable generation at the FERC technical conference.

NYISO told FERC it is considering a carbon adder as a means to link the state’s zero-emission credits (ZECs) to its wholesale electric market.

Executives from PJM, NYISO and ISO-NE will gather with stakeholders at FERC to seek ways to incorporate policies on greenhouse gases into wholesale markets.

FERC did not act on PJM’s proposed changes to its shortage pricing, so revisions for how to handle transient shortages will go into effect May 11.

The PJM Capacity Construct/Public Policy Senior Task Force held its second meeting discuss design-concept ideas for revising the RTO’s capacity market.
