FERC rejected a solar aggregator’s request to offer 14 DERs into ISO-NE’s 2020 Forward Capacity Auction despite a dispute over the interconnection status.

Transmission owners defended PJM’s, ISO-NE’s and SPP’s immediate-need reliability projects while states said they are frustrating FERC Order 1000’s intent.
FERC partially accepted SPP’s compliance filing to Orders 845 and 845-A, directing the RTO to submit further changes.
FERC declined to rehear its order directing PJM to allow two merchant transmission operators to convert some transmission withdrawal rights to non-firm.
