Panelists at the New York Energy Summit offered assessments and strategies for the obstacles facing the state’s continuing efforts toward decarbonization.

The Public Utilities Commission of Nevada voted to approve NV Energy’s application to join CAISO’s Extended Day-Ahead Market — a move that some stakeholders view as a pivotal moment for Western electricity markets.

ISO-NE’s initial review of proposals submitted for a first-of-its-kind transmission procurement indicates four of the six proposals do not meet the technical requirements and are not eligible for selection.

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.

Clean energy groups are calling for changes to ISO-NE’s surplus interconnection service rules to use capacity headroom and help some resources avoid lengthy cluster study processes.

The West must build or upgrade 12,600 miles of transmission at a cost of about $60 billion to meet the region’s forecast 30% increase in peak demand and other needs by 2035, according to the Western Transmission Expansion Coalition's 10-year outlook.

As the West appears to move toward two separate day-ahead markets, data center developers like Google and clean energy companies are investing with the intent to mitigate seams and ensure operational consistency, panelists at an Advanced Energy United webinar said.

NERC's latest Long-Term Reliability Assessment projected more than half of all assessment areas will face high or elevated risk of energy shortfalls in the next 10 years.

FERC ruled that MISO is free to continue using its interconnection queue fast lane, shutting down rehearing requests from several clean energy organizations.

Heading into 2026, New England is counting on an increasingly collaborative approach to energy policy as federal opposition to renewable energy development threatens affordability, reliability, and decarbonization objectives in the region.
