MISO is forecasting a 35% planning reserve margin for the winter and has implemented several changes to improve coordination with pipeline operators and ensure fuel deliveries to its fleet.

The Northeast Energy Direct pipeline project is the best way to lower electricity prices and increase reliability, the staff of the NHPUC said in a report.

SPP is confident of its preparation for winter, although it will be adding the winter-peaking Integrated System to its footprint in October.

New York has adequate resources and improved operational practices to face the upcoming winter, a NYISO official told FERC.

PJM is prepared to meet this winter’s load — even if it’s a bit higher than the record peak seen last season.

ISO-NE will again rely on the winter reliability program it has used for the last two winters, which gives oil generators incentives to secure fuel at the beginning of the winter.

Two studies released last week came to opposite conclusions on the need for additional natural gas pipelines in New England.

Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey has commissioned a study to assess New England’s natural gas supplies and other energy needs.

Speakers at the PJM Grid 20/20 symposium discussed the challenges of the electric industry’s historic shift to natural gas.

Kinder Morgan has scaled back a natural gas pipeline proposed for New England, but the changes will have little effect on the overall project.
