Puget Sound Energy and Avista told the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission they have taken steps to build clean energy resources quickly to qualify for expiring federal tax credits, while voicing concern that limited transmission capacity and the state’s greenhouse gas targets pose challenges.

NERC CEO Jim Robb said in congressional testimony that while the bulk power system made it through the late January winter storm reliably, the weather highlighted how at risk it is.

CAISO is proposing new methods to address “poor quality data” from some variable energy resources in the region in order to improve grid forecasting, the ISO said in a straw proposal.

ISO-NE published initial data on how its proposed capacity market overhaul will affect resource accreditation, providing an indication of how the changes would affect capacity market revenues for different resource types.

A new MIT study posits that while retail electric rates are higher in states that have renewable portfolio standards, the standards are not to blame.

The war in Iran is not expected to lead to higher domestic natural gas prices in part because higher oil prices tied to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz mean more oil production and related gas supply from the Permian Basin, the EIA said.

MISO said its modeling estimates show it could be in for anywhere from 413 GW to 501 GW of installed capacity in its system by 2045.

The EIA released a report that said a record 86 GW of utility-scale capacity is projected to be added to the grid in 2026, which if true, would far outpace the 53 GW of capacity added in 2025.

The New York Public Service Commission said the regulations it has approved will reduce permitting time for transmission projects by up to 50%.

SPP says ample wind generation during the January winter storm enabled it to export as much as 3,500 MW to its neighbors in the Eastern Interconnection.
