NEPOOL joined ISO-NE in asking FERC to reject a request by generators to force the RTO to develop a zonal sloped demand curve design for FCA 10 in February.

NEPGA says ISO-NE should adhere to a planned change to a sloped demand curve in the next Forward Capacity Auction.

FERC accepted the results of ISO-NE’s ninth Forward Capacity Auction, turning aside the protest of a utility workers union.

ISO-NE has proposed two new capacity zones for Forward Capacity Auction 10 next year.

GenOn Energy Management, a unit of NRG Energy, asked FERC for relief from what it called an “anomalous, illogical and patently unfair circumstance.”

New England power generators asked a federal appeals court to overturn FERC orders that accepted ISO-NE’s change to a sloped demand curve in advance of this year’s Forward Capacity Auction.

A meeting among the New England congressional delegation, ISO-NE and FERC Chairman Cheryl LaFleur ended the way that it started: with LaFleur and the RTO defending rising capacity prices and the delegation unhappy.

The Connecticut Department of Energy issued its IRP last week, warning of natural gas pipeline constraints and stiffer competition for renewable resources.

ISO-NE filed the results of its ninth Forward Capacity Auction with FERC on Friday, starting the clock on a 45-day comment period.

FERC once again dashed the hopes of the New England congressional delegation seeking to challenge the results of last year’s ISO-NE capacity auction.
