The Sierra Club and Natural Resources Defense Council filed a petition with an appeals court to toss two recent FERC orders that granted SPP’s request to modify provisions for clean energy resources’ capacity accreditation.

In a new report, NERC staff call for a reliability guideline to help establish consistent resource accreditation practices for regional system planners.

The PJM Market Implementation Committee voted to endorse two packages of revisions to key parameters of the capacity market out of six offered by PJM and stakeholders that resulted from the Quadrennial Review.

PJM’s Markets and Reliability Committee endorsed by acclamation a PJM proposal to rework how the RTO determines whether a new generation point-of-interconnection falls under federal or state jurisdiction.

The Markets and Reliability Committee rejected three proposals to revise aspects of PJM’s effective load-carrying capability accreditation model.

PJM's Markets and Reliability and Members committees will be asked to endorse manual revisions codifying the first phase of the RTO's regulation market redesign.

To increase its energy supplies, PJM proposes expanding its process for allowing new resources to inject onto the grid while their required network upgrades are being completed, allowing a unit to operate partially.

PJM's Markets and Reliability Committee endorsed by acclamation an issue charge by Constellation Energy focused on how storage as a transmission asset could be implemented in the RTO.

Stakeholders rejected the installed reserve margin and forecast pool requirement values recommended by PJM staff, with some opposed arguing that the inputs remain nebulous.

SPP is celebrating several recent FERC orders that have strengthened its resource adequacy framework that it says will secure a “reliable energy future” for its region.
