ERCOT announced it is terminating its reliability-must-run agreement for NRG Texas Power’s Greens Bayou Unit 5 in Houston, effective May 29.

The third quarter was a good one for the RTO Insider Top 30, as companies reported a 4% increase in revenues over a year earlier and a 22% increase in net income.

ERCOT will continue its reliability must-run agreement with NRG Energy’s Greens Bayou Unit 5 after a solicitation produced no viable alternatives.

The second quarter wasn’t a great one for most companies in the RTO Insider Top 30, as revenues declined 2% compared with 2015 while profits dropped 15%.

NRG Energy continued to retrench after a dismal 2015, announcing last week that it will sell its stake in a California solar project and restructure its GenOn unit.

The ERCOT Technical Advisory Committee rejected a request to allow economic dispatch of RMR units over the objections of the ISO’s  Monitor.

Groups opposing FirstEnergy's plan to win subsidies from Ohio regulators asked FERC to again intervene in the dispute.

The ERCOT Board of Directors approved extending an RMR contract with NRG Energy for its Greens Bayou Unit 5 plant in the Houston area.

FERC ordered MISO  to revise its Tariff to ensure it is not overpaying for reactive power or show cause why it should not have to do so.

ERCOT said it has executed a reliability-must-run agreement to keep NRG's Greens Bayou 371-MW natural gas-fired generator available through September.
