ALBANY, N.Y. — The NYISO Board of Directors has approved the right of first refusal for transmission owners’ tariff revisions for economic and reliability projects. The board also approved the PJM joint operating agreement for the Dover phased array regulator substation. (See NYISO Management Committee Briefs: June 30, 2025.) 

In a presentation to stakeholders, Board Chair Joseph Oates ran through a laundry list of items the board covered over two days of management meetings. He reported that the board is pleased with the discussion of the ongoing capacity structure review with market participants. The board also reviewed the preliminary setup of the System and Resource Outlook study, which eventually will involve meetings with stakeholders.  

Oates said the board also reviewed the status of the project prioritization process and had received the results of the 2025 quarterly internal audit. Physical and cybersecurity program updates were reviewed. He also mentioned a “strategic discussion” about short- and long-term demand forecasting. 

Oates did not provide details of these reviews or status updates. Stakeholders did not ask questions.
