Infocast’s annual ERCOT Market Summit once again featured panel discussions on market reform, grid resiliency and resource adequacy.

FERC both vacated and reinstated MISO’s entire resource adequacy construct, ultimately leaving the RTO’s current capacity auction format undisturbed.

PJM is experiencing an “unprecedented” switch from coal- to gas-fired generation while also managing the replacement of aging transmission infrastructure.

ERCOT said it expects the recent retirement of coal-fired and aging units to result in tight operating reserves this summer .

ISO-NE is racing to relieve natural gas pipelines constraints and interconnect new resources, CEO Gordon van Welie said.

FERC has given an unconditional thumbs-up to resource-aggregation rules for PJM that staff conditionally approved last year when the commission lacked a quorum.

ERCOT CEO Bill Magness had to revise a slide of his Feb. 20 report to the ISO’s Board of Directors on the fly with the latest record for wind production.

The CAISO Board of Governors enacted new governance policies and named Governor David Olsen as chairman.

Some energy resource developers in California say CAISO needs to change its interconnection rules to prevent financially unviable projects from lingering in the queue and affecting more sound projects.

PJM staff told Operating Committee meeting attendees that they are looking at ways to improve operations after reviewing performance during January.
