MISO is asking FERC to schedule a technical conference to clarify the rules governing the implementation and use of pseudo-ties.

PJM announced at last week’s Markets and Reliability Committee meeting that a scheduled vote on new pseudo-tie provisions would be postponed.

Both MISO and PJM will attempt second drafts of their respective pseudo-tie requirements after receiving deficiency letters from FERC.

MISO last month called on load-modifying resources for the first time in 10 years after it declared an unusual mid-spring maximum generation emergency.

FERC staff wants more details on MISO’s proposed pro forma pseudo-tie agreement, which the RTO hopes to begin enforcing in June.

OMS members will vote via email on whether to file comments in the Independent Market Monitor’s complaint over the PJM pseudo-tie proposal.

The MISO Market Subcommittee discussed Patton's call to develop better procedures for transferring control of market-to-market constraints.

Potomac Economics filed a complaint over the PJM pseudo-tie procedure, the latest volley in a complex debate over the future of the pseudo-tie concept.

The PJM Markets and Reliability Committee and Members Committee discussed the RTO's recent pseudo-tie filing, capacity replacement and fuel-cost policies.

Monitor David Patton said PJM’s filing signals a good time for MISO to again propose replacing pseudo-ties with a firm capacity delivery procedure.
