ISO New England (ISO-NE)
New England transmission owners have added 39 new projects in the annual update to the region’s asset condition forecast, the companies told the ISO-NE Planning Advisory Committee.
After receiving positive feedback from stakeholders, ISO-NE plans to proceed with its proposal for a quantitative threshold to determine an acceptable level of energy shortfall risk for the region.
ISO-NE presented the final design details and tariff changes for the first phase of its Capacity Auction Reforms project in preparation for a stakeholder vote in October.
The Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources and the state’s investor-owned electric utilities have issued a request for proposals to procure up to 1,500 MW of mid-duration energy storage.
Pay-for-Performance credits accumulated during capacity scarcity conditions June 24 totaled about $114 million, ISO-NE's COO told the NEPOOL Participants Committee.
The New England Power Generators Association is seeking immediate action from FERC to address what it calls “serious flaws” in the design of ISO-NE’s pay-for-performance mechanism.
Increased demand flexibility could significantly reduce production costs, capital costs, and transmission costs in New England by better-aligning load with generation and reducing peak loads, ISO-NE said.
Retiring ISO-NE CEO Gordon van Welie discussed the changes he helped oversee during his time at the RTO, including the rise of gas generation and major investments in transmission infrastructure.
ISO-NE’s regional network service rate is set to decrease by about 1% in 2026, dropping from $185.28/kW-year in 2025 to $183.71/kW-year in 2026.
ISO-NE provided updates on its proposals for generator retirements, market power mitigation, and resource qualification and reactivation.
