FERC called for an investigation into four interstate natural gas pipelines that it believes might be charging shippers in PJM, ISO-NE, NYISO and CAISO too much.

Tennessee Gas filed an application with FERC for a certificate of public convenience and necessity for the Northeast Energy Direct pipeline.

FERC staff has concluded that a 13.5-mile natural gas pipeline expansion to serve increased demand in Connecticut will have “no significant” environmental impact.

Spectra Energy’s Algonquin Gas Transmission asked FERC to grant permission for the pre-filing review on the proposed Access Northeast project by Nov. 13.

MISO is forecasting a 35% planning reserve margin for the winter and has implemented several changes to improve coordination with pipeline operators and ensure fuel deliveries to its fleet.

The Northeast Energy Direct pipeline project is the best way to lower electricity prices and increase reliability, the staff of the NHPUC said in a report.

SPP is confident of its preparation for winter, although it will be adding the winter-peaking Integrated System to its footprint in October.

New York has adequate resources and improved operational practices to face the upcoming winter, a NYISO official told FERC.

PJM is prepared to meet this winter’s load — even if it’s a bit higher than the record peak seen last season.

ISO-NE will again rely on the winter reliability program it has used for the last two winters, which gives oil generators incentives to secure fuel at the beginning of the winter.
