MISO declared a maximum generation alert Sept. 17 because of tight reserve levels amid forced outages and hotter-than-expected temperatures.

MISO has sufficient resources available to cope with warm conditions this fall, although there is a risk it may be forced to order emergency procedures.

ERCOT said that it expects to have enough installed generating capacity available to meet fall and winter peak demand.

ERCOT Market Monitor Beth Garza gave her perspective on how the energy-only market survived the summer of 2018 to the Future Power Markets Summit.

Hot and humid weather and several unplanned generator outages sent ISO-NE power prices soaring Monday and led the RTO to purchase emergency energy.

Critics responded to Eversource and National Grid's request that FERC clarify its order denying an ISO-NE waiver request to keep Exelon’s Mystic running.

FERC approved Tariff revisions that will finally allow the Southwest Power Pool to implement a resource adequacy requirement.

MISO, commited to moving forward, said it plans to refile a plan to create external capacity resource zones with FERC by the end of the month.

MISO laid out how it will tackle changing resource availability and needs in its footprint ahead of the release of a white paper on the issue.

ERCOT executives said that system generation has overperformed during the summer, helping the grid operator meet demand during July’s record heat.
