PJM stakeholders at the Markets and Reliability Committee meeting endorsed the second phase of an initiative with MISO to address overlapping congestion.

ERCOT CEO Bill Magness had to revise a slide of his Feb. 20 report to the ISO’s Board of Directors on the fly with the latest record for wind production.

ERCOT enters 2018 facing new questions, as the growth in wind energy has begun threatening not only coal but also less efficient natural gas-fired generation.

NERC released its annual Long-Term Reliability Assessment, urging preservation of “essential reliability services.”

MISO expects to easily manage this winter’s anticipated 103.4 GW of peak demand with an estimated 142 GW of available capacity.

Vistra Energy’s acknowledgement last month that it may retire some of its coal fleet sparked a debate at Infocast’s Texas Renewable Energy Summit.

The ERCOT board learned that Lubbock Power & Light’s potential transition from SPP could result in as much as $77 million in increased production costs.

MISO predicts it will have double its required winter reserve margin, due in part to increased north-south transfer capacity and improved emergency pricing.

With the spring season underway, the MISO Markets Committee of the Board of Directors reviewed this past winter and the upcoming summer.

Reducing SPP’s current 13.6% reserve margin to 12% could cut required capacity by about 1,000 MW, saving $86 million annually and $1.3 billion over 40 years.
