CAISO introduced a straw proposal that aims to attract supply this summer and head off shortfalls like those that led to rolling blackouts last year.

With a challenging summer in the rearview, MISO expects more traditional reliability risks this fall while making blueprints for an industry roiled by change.

ISO-NE analysis suggests that summer demand from June 1 to July 11 was consistent with the 2020 CELT forecast despite the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Unseasonably warm weather has nudged MISO load a little closer to normal this week, though demand is still being compressed by pandemic safety measures.

California should have enough capacity to get through this summer’s peak demand but dwindling hydropower and limited imports during late-season heat waves could strain supply, CAISO said.

Warmer-than-usual weather this summer means MISO will likely have to declare an emergency, even without heavy loads or a high volume of generation outages.

ERCOT's first seasonal assessment of resource adequacy for the summer foresees a repeat of 2019 but with additional capacity to help meet demand.

PJM’s grid coasted through an “uneventful” summer highlighted by a new record for weekend peak load and the lowest forced outrage rate in five years.

The NYISO Management Committee discussed the ISO's draft 2020 budget, two July heat waves, and new energy and business management systems in development.

ERCOT said its final summer 2019 resource adequacy assessment indicates “a potential need” to enter energy emergency alert status for system reliability.
