FERC  issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to implement legislation enacted last year to protect the grid from terrorist attacks.

FERC accepted portions of MISO’s SSR Tariff changes but rejected the RTO’s proposal regarding the retention and transfer of interconnection rights.

The ERCOT Board of Directors approved extending an RMR contract with NRG Energy for its Greens Bayou Unit 5 plant in the Houston area.

CAISO transmission planning staff  proposed studies on the implications of gas shortages on grid reliability.

FERC ordered MISO  to revise its Tariff to ensure it is not overpaying for reactive power or show cause why it should not have to do so.

ERCOT’s Board of Directors unanimously approved two transmission projects intended to ease congestion and reliability concerns in South Texas.

The Reliability Subcommittee is concerned about the reliability of MISO’s frequency response under a changing resource mix.

New York could accommodate up to 4,500 MW of wind and 9,000 MW of solar power capacity by 2030, according to a NYISO study.

Capacity Performance units no longer would be compensated for participating in cold weather testing under a plan by the PJM Operating Committee.

FERC called a technical conference to mark the 10 years since Congress gave the commission the power to impose mandatory grid reliability standards.
