RGGI reported another lackluster carbon allowance auction last week, bolstering calls by Mass. and others for more aggressive cuts in the compact’s emission caps.

RTO Insider spoke to the chair of NEPOOL, which is reviewing its market rules to align them with New England’s efforts towards a low-carbon future.

FERC denied rehearing of its September order endorsing the interim Winter Reliability Program for ISO-NE.

FERC has accepted ISO-NE’s 390-MW reduction in its load forecast, reflecting the impact of distributed solar resources.

FERC ruled that the ISO-NE Tariff is unjust and unreasonable because it uses vertical demand curves in constrained zones.

Generators are protesting the way in which ISO-NE is calculating its installed capacity requirement for its 10th Forward Capacity Auction.

FERC had said neither ISO-NE’s nor the New England Power Pool’s proposals in themselves addressed performance adequacy, but the commission adopted elements of both.

ISO-NE and the New England Power Pool (NEPOOL) bar the public and the press from virtually all of their stakeholder meetings.

The mission of RTO Insider is to provide an accurate account of the stakeholder debates to help those outside the room monitor issues that matter to them.

ISO-NE and the NEPOOL Participants Committee want to begin using the RTO’s system-wide sloped demand curve in their Annual Reconfiguration Auctions.
