The NEPOOL Transmission Committee declined to support a compliance proposal from New England transmission owners for a recent FERC order preventing them from charging interconnection customers for operations and maintenance fees associated with network upgrades.

The Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities approved a settlement agreement for the New England Clean Energy Connect transmission line, authorizing a significant cost increase to account for regulatory delays to the project.

The NEPOOL Reliability Committee voted to support changes to ISO-NE Planning Procedure 7 to comply with FERC Order 881.

ISO-NE’s multiyear effort to overhaul its forward capacity market likely will continue to dominate ISO-NE and NEPOOL work in 2025.

A new policy paper from the Acadia Center emphasizes the importance of community engagement to enabling wide-scale deployment of clean energy infrastructure over the next two decades.

ISO-NE’s regional energy shortfall threshold will rely on a pair of metrics intended to capture the intensity and duration of energy shortfall risks in extreme weather scenarios, the RTO told the NEPOOL Reliability Committee.

In an antitrust lawsuit filed in federal court, Avangrid accused NextEra Energy of conducting an “exclusionary and anticompetitive scheme” to stop a major transmission project connecting New England to Quebec.

The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed FERC’s ruling that NextEra Energy is responsible for replacing the circuit breaker at its Seabrook Station nuclear plant to accommodate the interconnection of the New England Clean Energy Connect transmission line.

Construction on Avangrid’s hotly contested New England Clean Energy Connect transmission project has made significant progress following a two-year pause, according to a filing submitted to the Maine Public Utilities Commission.
