Public power representatives reiterated their case against mandatory capacity markets, teaming with renewable advocates for a one-day conference.

Rising state subsidies for renewable and nuclear power require PJM to revamp its MOPR to address price suppression in its capacity market, FERC ruled.

Consumer, small-business and environmental advocates pressed the PJM Board of Managers on the issue of transparency at their annual meeting.

Comments on PJM’s “jump ball” proposals for protecting the capacity market from subsidized resources were almost uniformly negative.

FERC Commissioner Robert Powelson said that he sees an “erosion of confidence” in RTO stakeholder processes.
