Former FERC Chair Neil Chatterjee is joining Voltus, where he will advise the firm as it engages in the implementation of Order 2222, which was issued under his chairmanship at the regulator.

FERC approved NYISO’s proposed tariff revisions that set rules for distributed energy resources seeking to participate in its markets, including a 10-kW minimum for individual resources to be included in an aggregation.

MISO hopes it can use a two-step approach to Order 2222 compliance, first using a demand response category in 2026, with full market participation of aggregations of distributed resources still on the RTO’s original 2030 timeline that FERC refused last year.

NYISO defended its proposal to set a 10-kW minimum requirement for distributed energy resources to participate in an aggregation. 

MISO promised five months of more stakeholder discussion on its Order 2222 compliance plan before it attempts a second filing to take care of FERC's concerns.

FERC said MISO didn’t justify the need for an additional five-year gap between completion of its new market platform in 2024 and the first DER aggregation registrations in late 2029.

Advocates filed a protest with FERC arguing that NYISO’s proposal to facilitate market participation of DER aggregations discriminates against smaller aggregations

Minnesota regulators discuss whether it's time to lift a 13-year ban on aggregators of retail customers bidding demand response into wholesale markets.

NYISO responded to FERC's questions concerning its filing related to establishing DER aggregation in the ISO's markets.

FERC asked NYISO to provide additional detail on its proposed tariff revisions for integrating DER aggregations into its markets, including a rationale for its 10-kW minimum.
