In a rare move, CAISO will use its capacity procurement mechanism to obtain more resources after other measures fell short, threatening summer blackouts.

MISO says voltage stability and thermal issues will get out of hand within the decade unless it instates some transmission solutions.

FERC Chairman Richard Glick says "the time is right for the states, the region’s utilities and other key stakeholders" to form one or more Western RTOs.

The Public Utilities Commission of Nevada said a Western market would help alleviate supply shortfalls like those that occurred last August.

Another complaint aimed at stopping the shutdown of a nuclear power plant on reliability grounds met its end at FERC's monthly open meeting.

The ISO-NE Planning Advisory Committee heard updates on the RTO's Regional System Plan and the preliminary results of a transmission planning study.

February’s winter storm, which threw Texas and much of the Midwest into a deep freeze, remains a hot topic as seen at recent industry conferences.

During a meeting of the Western Conference of Public Service Commissioners, regulators shared strategies for dealing with heat waves, cold snaps and wildfires.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signed into law a pair of comprehensive reform bills that he said would fix the “flaws” that lead to February’s power failure.

Five former Texas regulators have released a report with recommendations to  prevent additional weather-driven blackouts like those in February.
