The NYISO Operating Committee approved revisions to the 2024-01 Expedited Delivery Study, finding that all nine proposed projects are deliverable at their requested capacity resource interconnection service levels.

NYISO presented its $204 million draft budget for 2025 to the Budget and Priorities Working Group, with an administrative rate of $1.319/MWh based on a 154,700-GWh transmission throughput.

NYISO's update to its draft Reliability Needs Assessment still shows an expected capacity shortfall by 2034, though it is slightly less than what was initially presented in July.

NYISO's final 2025 project budget recommendation re-added several items, such as the storage as transmission project, that will be presented to the Management Committee later this year.

NYISO proposed shortening the activation notice period for special-case resources from 21 hours to four, which caused consternation among program participants at the Installed Capacity Working Group’s meeting.

The Analysis Group told NYISO stakeholders it did not recommend any major changes to the annual process for updating the ISO’s gross cost of new entry for generators.

The proposed NYISO 2025 budget for projects would be about $42.1 million. More than half of that would be spent on labor and professional services to execute projects.

The NYISO Operating Committee approved two study reports and one study scope, all of which involve load projects in northern New York.

NYISO staff presented tariff revisions that may be deployed as early as Q1 of 2026 to account for the uncertainty of wind and solar energy forecasts.
