FERC is investigating ISO-NE’s role in alleged fraud by a project developer taking part in the RTO’s capacity market, the grid operator disclosed.

Ex-FERC Commissioners Norman Bay and Colette Honorable told war stories and commented on recent commission rulemakings at a forum on energy storage policy.

An appellate court ruled that ISO New England’s Inventoried Energy Program would unfairly incent some resources for storing energy in a way they already do. 

New England is wrestling with the practical realities of implementing any of the regional policy options for decarbonization analyzed in its Pathways Study.

ISO-NE is leaning toward a marginal approach to resource capacity accreditation, but there's a year of stakeholder discussions ahead.

Stakeholder groups, including state regulators, protested MISO’s FERC Order 2222 compliance filing, many indignant over the request to delay implementation.

ISO-NE is considering bringing back several past winter reliability programs ahead of possible tight conditions this year.

By moving the interconnection point for its 804-MW OSW facility in Massachusetts, Mayflower says it can lock in a price of $70.26/MWh for the project.

New England is not facing the same warnings as other regions this summer, but severe heat could still force ISO-NE into emergency actions, the RTO said.

FERC reluctantly accepted ISO-NE’s plan to remove its minimum offer price rule after a two-year transition period.
