NEPGA asked asked a federal appeals court to review three FERC orders related to the operation of ISO-NE’s Forward Capacity Market.

FERC has accepted ISO-NE’s 390-MW reduction in its load forecast, reflecting the impact of distributed solar resources.

FERC ruled that the ISO-NE Tariff is unjust and unreasonable because it uses vertical demand curves in constrained zones.

Generators are protesting the way in which ISO-NE is calculating its installed capacity requirement for its 10th Forward Capacity Auction.

The developers of the Northern Pass transmission line may have to fight in court before they turn the first shovel of dirt on their project to deliver Canadian hydropower to the New England grid.

FERC had said neither ISO-NE’s nor the New England Power Pool’s proposals in themselves addressed performance adequacy, but the commission adopted elements of both.

New England politicians' urge to “do something” to combat high winter power prices risks undermining ISO-NE’s power market just as it has begun adding new generation, the head of NEPGA said.

NEPOOL joined ISO-NE in asking FERC to reject a request by generators to force the RTO to develop a zonal sloped demand curve design for FCA 10 in February.

NEPGA says ISO-NE should adhere to a planned change to a sloped demand curve in the next Forward Capacity Auction.

FERC backtracked from its January order directing ISO-NE to develop a market-based approach for its winter reliability program later this year.
