MISO Monitor David Patton called NERC’s Long-Term Reliability Assessment inaccurate for labeling the RTO a high-risk area.

MISO Independent Market Monitor David Patton addressed the recent controversy surrounding his longstanding criticism of MISO’s latest, $22-billion long-range transmission portfolio at the Organization of MISO States’ Resource Adequacy Summit.

FERC approved a PJM proposal to limit capacity prices to between $175 and $325/MW-day for the next two Base Residual Auctions, resolving a complaint from Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro.

After years of its Independent Market Monitor critiquing MISO for making too many out-of-market actions to tame congestion, the IMM congratulated the RTO for dramatically reducing such actions.

PJM received 94 submissions from generation owners seeking to have new projects or uprates to existing units included in the RTO’s expedited Reliability Resource Initiative interconnection study process.

FERC received several protests to Constellation's proposed purchase of Calpine, with PJM's Monitor arguing the companies need to make additional commitments to preserve competition in the RTO.

PJM’s Markets and Reliability Committee endorsed two proposals to revise the RTO’s ELCC formula to add two new generation categories and limit the penalties resources face if their accreditation declines between auctions.

PJM’s markets provided reliable service in 2024, but tightening supply and demand are laying bare design flaws that have inhibited the competitiveness of the RTO’s markets, the Independent Market Monitor wrote in its 2024 State of the Market Report.

MISO confirmed it’s taking steps to get answers from FERC about the role the Independent Market Monitor should have — if any — in transmission planning.

MISO emerged from winter 2024/25 without turning to emergency procedures despite wide-ranging winter storms Jan. 6-9 and again Jan. 20-22.
