Energy affordability and regional collaboration dominated talks at the New England-Canada Business Council's annual Executive Energy Conference.

ISO-NE published a summary of proposals submitted for its first longer-term transmission planning procurement, which is aimed at reducing transmission constraints.

ISO-NE outlined its planned approach for accounting for resources’ gas supply limitations in its new capacity accreditation framework at a NEPOOL Markets Committee meeting.

NEPOOL technical committees voted in favor of ISO-NE’s proposal to adopt a prompt capacity auction and update the RTO’s resource retirement process.

ISO-NE’s probabilistic modeling indicates there is minimal risk of shortfall in the upcoming winter, COO Vamsi Chadalavada told the NEPOOL Participants Committee.

Incoming ISO-NE CEO Vamsi Chadalavada emphasized the importance of innovation and a forward-looking approach to prepare for the future grid.

Despite recent transparency improvements, broader efforts are needed to address underlying concerns about a lack of regulatory oversight of local transmission costs in New England, a panel of transmission experts said.
