Extreme weather events have brought “extraordinary clarity” about reliability risks posed by climate change, NERC CEO Jim Robb told an EPSA conference.

FERC declined rehearing requests of its inaction on PJM’s narrowed MOPR after a 2-2 tie vote, setting up further action in appellate court.

FERC denied a rehearing request by EPSA and NEPGA related to the recalculated values used in ISO-NE’s Forward Capacity Market.

The early impacts of PJM’s first capacity auction in three years began to emerge Thursday as Exelon reiterated plans to retire two of its nuclear plants.

NYISO and sympathetic intervenors filed comments urging FERC to reject a request that it require the ISO to implement a “clean" MOPR.

Greenhouse gas emissions across PJM could be cut by 80 million metric tons (28%) by 2030 with a carbon price of $10/ton, a study by E3 found.

Carbon pricing's time may be nearing, but it won’t solve the climate crisis by itself or persuade states to abandon clean energy policies, speakers said.

Stakeholders asked FERC to reconsider requiring PJM to overhaul its capacity market, saying the directive is unnecessary and oversteps federal jurisdiction.

The leaders of the Senate ENR Committee announced legislation to provide $250 million in funding for transmission owners cybersecurity investments.

As PJM stakeholders anxiously await FERC’s ruling on expanding the MOPR, a new analysis says the policy could signifigantly increase capacity market prices
