ERCOT staff and CPS Energy continue to work “very closely” in negotiating reliability must-run contracts for three aging coal-fired units the grid operator says are necessary for reliability.

PJM stakeholders delayed voting on five proposals to rework the notification deadlines for generation deactivations and how compensation for reliability-must-run contracts is determined.

Texas’ regulatory commission has adopted a reliability standard for the ERCOT region, one of several policy parameters that will be used in upcoming analyses for the proposed performance credit mechanism market design.

ERCOT’s rule change to the Nodal Operating Guide that imposes voltage ride-through requirements on inverter-based resources has been partially approved, but much work remains.

Average load-weighted electricity prices in PJM fell by around half in 2023, the Independent Market Monitor said in its annual State of the Market Report.

PJM has requested that Talen Energy continue operating a portion of its H.A. Wagner Generating Station an additional three years beyond its requested 2025 deactivation date.

PJM's Markets and Reliability Committee endorsed issue charges, opening stakeholder discussions on generator deactivation timelines and a potential overhaul of the reserve markets during its Sept. 20 meeting.

PJM's Markets and Reliability Committee deferred voting on an issue charge to create a new senior task force focused on compensation for reliability-must-run contracts and the timing of deactivation notices.
