NARUC President John W. “Jack” Betkoski III called for more transparency at the NEPOOL and said he plans to focus his tenure on the “water-energy nexus.”

ISO-NE advanced the idea of excluding competitive new resources from functioning as demand in a proposed “substitution” capacity auction.

ISO-NE presented guidance for distribution-connected generation to the NEPOOL Reliability/Transmission Committee.

ISO-NE presented its monthly operations report to the New England Power Pool (NEPOOL) Participants Committee's at their summer meeting.

Public power utilities in ISO-NE aren’t convinced that ISO-NE’s two-tiered capacity auction is the best way to incorporate clean energy procurements.

Energy storage technology is still moving faster than state regulators and the markets can accommodate, speakers said at NECPUC.

New England will have only enough natural gas capacity to supply about half of its gas-fired generation in winters 2025 and 2030, according to NEPOOL.

ISO-NE presented its proposal for a two-tiered capacity auction that would incorporate state-mandated renewable generation at the FERC technical conference.

New England states will not have enough renewable resources to meet the 2025 and 2030 targets in current renewable portfolio standards.

The NEPOOL IMAPP collaborative process will suspend its monthly meetings until May to allow ISO-NE more time to develop a new market design.
