Attendees of the Infocast New York Energy Market Summit discussed transmission development, offshore wind and conflict between state policies and markets.

A three-judge panel of the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals questioned FERC over its approval of ISO-NE’s renewable exemption from the MOPR.

FERC Commissioner Robert Powelson said ISO New England (ISO-NE) needs to overcome its aversion to new energy infrastructure to avoid natural gas shortages in the winter.

FERC approved ISO-NE’s two-stage capacity auction to accommodate state renewable energy procurements.

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

ISO-NE defended its proposed two-stage capacity auction, responding to criticism by its External Market Monitor and others.

Stakeholders have responded to ISO-NE’s filing of a proposed two-stage capacity auction with a flurry of comments to FERC.

New England state regulators ended up split over the ISO-NE CASPR proposal — yet seemingly united in their dismay over the RTO’s stakeholder process.

ISO-NE asked for FERC approval of its two-stage capacity auction following months of negotiations that left the RTO’s stakeholders split.

ISO New England (ISO-NE) stakeholders are trying to reach agreement on CASPR, a two-tier market construct to integrate state-sponsored renewables.
