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.

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.

ISO-NE and the New England Power Pool (NEPOOL) bar the public and the press from virtually all of their stakeholder meetings.

The mission of RTO Insider is to provide an accurate account of the stakeholder debates to help those outside the room monitor issues that matter to them.

ISO-NE and the NEPOOL Participants Committee want to begin using the RTO’s system-wide sloped demand curve in their Annual Reconfiguration Auctions.

ISO-NE and the New England Power Pool have asked federal regulators to choose between competing proposals in a “jump ball” proceeding that would cover the next three winters.

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.

New England power generators asked a federal appeals court to overturn FERC orders that accepted ISO-NE’s change to a sloped demand curve in advance of this year’s Forward Capacity Auction.
