In producing its looking-forward report for SPP, Bates White Economic Consulting says low natural gas prices will continue if technology further improves.

Analysts think the results of the PJM capacity auction yesterday will end efforts to build new generation capacity in the RTO’s territory.

Stakeholders are considering 4 of 17 proposals from last year's IMAPP initiative to better incorporate clean energy into ISO-NE's markets.

A forward capacity market may have worked for PJM and ISO-NE, but it isn’t the solution for NYISO, the Market Monitor told IPPNY’s fall conference.

FERC accepted rule changes meant to prevent generation owners in ISO-NE from exercising market power by retiring resources that are still economic.

FERC has again upheld ISO-NE’s limited exemption for renewables from the RTO’s minimum offer price rule.

ISO-NE CEO Gordon van Welie last week again defended the RTO’s capacity auctions to congressmen who say market practices have led to inflated electricity rates for New England ratepayers.

A MISO auction proposal to hold a separate forward capacity procurement auction for deregulated areas is meeting with skepticism from some RTO members.
