generator retirements
Three clean energy trade groups asked DOE to reconsider its recent report on resource adequacy, which they contend uses a deterministic approach to stake out a position for not retiring any more power plants in the face of rising electricity demand.
Industry experts say that while DOE's report points to a well known issue, it focuses only on keeping old plants online instead of needed new capacity.
ISO-NE provided updates on its proposals for generator retirements, market power mitigation, and resource qualification and reactivation.
DOE's report tries to apply one reliability metric to different markets and finds significant new capacity will be needed in some markets to avoid reliability problems by 2030.
NERC released its State of Reliability report, which found the bulk power system remains highly reliable and underlying performance metrics such as frequency response and misoperation rates are improving or remain stable.
The Internal Market Monitor weighed in on ISO-NE's proposed capacity market overhaul, expressing support for increased flexibility around resource retirement notifications and recommending the elimination of the pivotal supplier test.
ISO-NE provided stakeholders with a high-level overview of its proposed prompt capacity market design and discussed several other aspects of its capacity auction reform project at a two-day meeting of the NEPOOL Markets Committee.
ISO-NE continued discussions with stakeholders on its capacity auction reform project at the NEPOOL Markets Committee, providing more information on planned changes to the resource retirement process.
ISO-NE plans to decouple resource retirements from the capacity auction process and adopt a two-year notification timeline for retiring generators, the RTO told stakeholders at the NEPOOL Markets Committee.
With FERC’s blessing, MISO will synchronize its generator replacement process with its generation suspension and retirement process to give interconnection customers more flexibility.
