New England Power Pool (NEPOOL)
ISO-NE is pausing its discussions with stakeholders on Order 1920 compliance due to uncertainty from outstanding rehearing requests, legal challenges and recent indications of potential updates to the order from FERC commissioners.
ISO-NE is working to add the capability to model preemptive actions to its probabilistic energy adequacy tool, the RTO told the NEPOOL stakeholders.
ISO-NE is not planning to pursue the development of simultaneously clearing seasonal capacity auctions as part of its capacity auction reform project.
A recently filed proposal by ISO-NE to increase the collateral requirements for generators with capacity supply obligations has received strong pushback from the New England Power Generators Association.
The RTO will next year focus on capacity auction reforms, establishing a regional energy shortfall threshold, complying with FERC orders 1920 and 2023, and implementing market and technology improvements.
ISO-NE submitted its compliance to the commission in May, but FERC has yet to rule on the proposal, throwing a wrench in the RTO's implementation timeline.
ISO-NE’s Capacity Auction Reforms project will include an evaluation of additional resource accreditation modeling enhancements, the RTO told the NEPOOL Markets Committee.
The NEPOOL Participants Committee voted to update the Generation Information System to enable the transfer of hourly certificates, opening the door for the sale of hourly renewable energy credits.
New England transmission owners have presented a $185 per kW-year regional network service rate for 2025, an increase over the $154 per kW-year rate in 2024.
The NEPOOL Reliability Committee voted to support new data collection standards for distributed energy resources, and ISO-NE outlined potential changes to planning procedures and the affected system operator process.
