The New England Power Generators Association (NEPGA) says a rule meant to prevent withholding of generating resources unfairly cost them $100 million during an August heat wave.

With only hours to go at the end of its session, the Massachusetts legislature passed a major energy bill that boosts Canadian hydropower and offshore wind.

A bill introduced in the Massachusetts House calls for power distribution companies and the state Department of Energy Resources to procure offshore wind and hydro.

Prices dropped 26% in ISO-NE’s 10th Forward Capacity Auction as new resources more than made up for retiring generation.

ISO-NE will hold its 10th Forward Capacity Auction on Monday with expectations that prices will continue to rise as more generation resources leave the market.

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.
