MISO’s 7th annual capacity auction cleared at $2.99/MW-day in all but 1 zone, a significant decline compared with last year’s nearly uniform $10 price.

MISO will kick off discussions on distributed energy resources policy after completing stakeholder workshops on integrating DER into its system.

FERC issued deficiency letters to all six jurisdictional RTOs and ISOs over their proposed energy storage rules, pressing for definitions, tariff citations and other details.

Having met its current carbon reduction goal ahead of schedule, Entergy now plans to further slash emissions over the next decade.

Despite the ongoing shift to renewables, the Eastern Interconnection has sufficient inertia to maintain system frequency for at least the next five years.

Old and new will interconnect if Michigan Tech can pull off an energy storage concept that pairs the state’s abandoned mines with pumped storage.

FERC conditionally accepted MISO’s address to an inherent conflict within its Tariff related to the termination of generator interconnection agreements.

MISO must flesh out more details around its already lengthy proposal for allowing energy storage resources to participate in its markets, FERC said.

FERC granted MISO permission to implement the remaining two proposals in its three-part short-term resource availability and need project.

MISO may have to contend with security concerns and the phaseout of the vertically integrated utility model as it strives to manage a grid with more DERs.
