Last winter’s cold raised concerns about economic withholding, the PJM Independent Market Monitor said in its annual State of the Market report.

FERC increased its pressure on PJM and MISO to resolve their longstanding boundary disputes, saying it was considering taking action “to improve the efficiency of operations” at the RTOs’ seam.

PJM CEO Terry Boston has announced he will retire by the end of the year. He leaves behind a legacy of building stakeholder consensus and steady leadership.

Attorneys for Powhatan Energy Fund and Kevin Gates accused FERC's Office of Enforcement of withholding information that could exonerate their clients in a high-profile market manipulation case.

MISO’s Market Monitor urged FERC last week to resolve a standoff between MISO and PJM over interface pricing that he said is costing consumers millions.

The RTO stakeholder process came under fire last week at a FERC technical conference on the treatment of financial transactions in PJM.

PJM’s request to raise the cost-based energy offer cap to $1,800/MWh through March drew a flurry of comments and protests in the days before Christmas.

Md. PSC staff said Exelon should increase its proposed credit to customers as a condition of approval of the company's merger with Pepco, while the OPC said the commission should reject the deal.

PJM IMM Joe Bowring said the RTO should exclude generators from participating in drafting cost development guidelines that determine their compensation.

A cost-benefit analysis released by PJM and the IMM says the RTO's proposed Capacity Performance product would cost ratepayers as much as $6 billion over the next four years.
