Massachusetts' former top regulator Angela O'Connor sat down with RTO Insider to talk about the challenges faced by her old agency — and the privilege of serving it.

The New England Power Pool voted to admit RTO Insider correspondent Michael Kuser as an End User member under strict rules that prevent him from reporting publicly on what he hears in meetings.

The New England Power Pool Markets Committee rejected ISO-NE’s interim proposal for compensating generators for fuel security. But the RTO plans to file the plan with FERC with or without stakeholder endorsement.

New England Power Pool stakeholders are discussing potential changes to ISO-NE wholesale energy markets to improve winter fuel security.

The New England Power Pool indicated it won’t let reporters into its meetings without a fight, asking FERC to reconsider its order rejecting a press ban.

FERC rejected NEPOOL’s attempt to bar members of the press from membership, but left intact — for now, at least — rules barring reporting on proceedings.

ISO-NE urged FERC to reject a protest over the RTO’s proposed “test price” mechanism to be applied to resources seeking to retire capacity.

Despite a few bumps, scrapes and scares throughout the year, ISO-NE delivered on time by dispatching key market initiatives.

NEPOOL approved new penalties for ISO-NE participants that fail to cover their capacity supply obligations when a new resource is delayed.

RTO Insider responded to NEPOOL’s answer to protests that joined the publication in calling for open stakeholder meetings.
