Critics said the U.S. DOE’s proposal for designating electric infrastructure information could be a Trojan horse to subsidize coal and nuclear power.

Public Citizen is urging the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to start overseeing PJM’s embattled financial transmission rights market.

An advocacy group accused PJM of violating the Federal Power Act by making political contributions with membership funds. PJM said the payments were to allow staff access to energy-related policy summits and not to support any candidate.

Stakeholders have responded to ISO-NE’s filing of a proposed two-stage capacity auction with a flurry of comments to FERC.

MISO obtained a one-time waiver of the deadline for its 2017/18 capacity auction from FERC because of technical difficulties on the RTO’s market platform.

FERC denied Public Citizen’s request for rehearing on Entergy’s sale of the James A. FitzPatrick nuclear plant in New York to Exelon.

FERC approved ISO-NE’s request not to disclose any proprietary information from certain de-list bids for the 12th Forward Capacity Auction.

Consumer advocates urged Congress to pressure FERC to improve the RTO stakeholder process and reject Energy Secretary Rick Perry’s directive to rescue at-risk coal and nuclear generation.

Public Citizen filed a complaint with FERC saying that the PJM rate increase request failed to consider mitigating costs by limiting pay increases.

Public Citizen protested Entergy’s proposed sale of the FitzPatrick nuclear power plant to Exelon, saying the companies' FERC application failed to include information about the state subsidy that makes the transaction possible.
