The NYISO Business Issues Committee approved revisions to the Ancillary Services Manual and ICAP Manual, and discussed FERC's approval of its BSM rules.

FERC accepted PJM’s compliance filing restoring the historical energy and ancillary services revenue offset used in the RTO’s capacity market.

FERC ordered CAISO, ISO-NE, MISO, NYISO, PJM and SPP to report on how system needs are changing with their shifting resource mixes and how they will meet them.

ISO-NE requested that FERC dismiss a complaint by renewable energy groups alleging that its rules don’t adequately take into account the uncertainty of gas.

ISO-NE laid out the scope and timing of a project to incorporate ancillary services in the day-ahead energy market for the NEPOOL Markets Committee.

Competitive power generators renewed their calls for a national price on carbon emissions while complaining of a lack of market support for gas generators.

FERC officials told the ACORE Policy Forum that RTO transmission planning rules must be revised to support reliability and the flood of renewable generation.

ERCOT’s conservative use of reliability unit commitments to procure standby reserves since last year’s winter storm is under question.

FERC clarified that its order on remand partially reversing PJM’s proposed energy price formation revisions did not remove the RTO’s reserve price caps.

SPP’s MMU is “strongly” recommending that TCRs' funding shortfall be considered a high-priority item, according to its latest quarterly market reports.
