PJM that its generation fleet performed much better in this New Year’s January cold snap than during the 2014 polar vortex.

Generators fared better during the early January cold snap than in the 2014 polar vortex, officials told Congress, but New England needs to take urgent preventative action.

While the high load and generation outages followed the pattern of the polar vortex, MISO managed to keep prices stable and maintain better reliability.

FERC has allowed MISO to waive its $1,000/MWh offer cap for the fourth straight winter in response to the extremely cold weather.

The three grid operators serving the East Coast, ISO-NE, NYISO and PJM Interconnection, have so far weathered the extended cold snap gripping the region.

PJM’s plan to add several gas pipeline emergency procedures to its manuals was derailed by stakeholders.

Panelists discussing the DOE NOPR on grid resiliency at the NARUC Annual Meeting agreed that energy markets should put a price on what the grid needs.

PJM presented the Operating Committee with a proposed solution to address FERC’s proposed primary frequency response rule.

FERC found that MISO did not adequately comply with its directives in Order 831, which stipulated changes to the RTO's hard and soft offer cap processes.

Consumer representatives and the Independent Market Monitor expressed concern at the MRC over PJM’s plans for vetting energy offers exceeding $1,000/MWh.
