More than 200,000 AEP customers in Ohio lost power after storms damaged multiple transmission lines and forced load sheds on at least three 138-kV lines.

Hurricane Laura’s lashing of south Louisiana and southeast Texas led MISO to implement last-resort rolling power outages.

MISO staff briefed stakeholders on the RTO rearranging its Integrated Roadmap schedule and the markets' performance in an unusually warm September.

An unprecedented spell of hot weather across PJM left stakeholders questioning whether the RTO’s operational decisions produced unusual price signals.

PJM’s grid coasted through an “uneventful” summer highlighted by a new record for weekend peak load and the lowest forced outrage rate in five years.

Exelon told the PJM Operating Committee it is near agreement with RTO staff on business rules for non-retail behind-the-meter generation.

MISO issued two maximum generation alerts and conservative operations declarations because of severe weather in June and a heatwave in July.

PJM told the Operating Committee that generators will maximize their revenues and avoid penalties during performance assessment hours by just doing what they’re told.

Acknowledging they were taking “a leap of faith,” stakeholders last week endorsed PJM’s plan for cutting uplift and capturing reserve costs in energy prices.

Stakeholders split last week over a PJM proposal to change how the RTO captures the cost of deploying additional reserves during extreme weather.
