FERC last week rejected the MISO plan for ensuring it terminates reactive power payments when generating units are no longer capable of providing the service or are transferred out of a fleet.

The CAISO Board of Governors approved proposed Tariff revisions that will require new renewable resources be capable of providing grid-stability services as a condition for interconnecting with the ISO’s system.

PJM’s Market Monitor made new recommendations for the energy, capacity and ancillary services markets in its 2nd quarter State of the Market Report.

New wind generators will be required to provide reactive power following a FERC order eliminating their exemption from having to provide the service.

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.

FERC issued orders that seek to increase the supply of regulation service and reactive power, and issued a final rule to allow generators to sell primary frequency response service at market-based rates.

PJM generating companies that deactivate or transfer ownership of units in their fleet will have to revise their reactive power rates or explain why they have decided not to to FERC.

FERC says a filing made by NYISO to calculate payments for voltage support services (VSS) is deficient.

NYISO defended its proposed redesign of voltage support compensation, telling FERC it should reject calls by generators for additional inflation adjustments.

PJM filed Tariff revisions in response to an order by FERC requiring it take steps to prevent fleet owners from receiving reactive power payments from retired or sold generators
