Four TVA power companies have filed a complaint with FERC, saying the agency is denying them access to alternative power suppliers through its grid.

Southeastern utilities and cooperatives, led by Duke and Southern Co., said they will seek FERC approval to launch a 15-minute energy market.

Southeast utilities could cut electric rates and emissions by joining an organized market, according to an Energy Innovation Policy & Technology study.

Memphis Light, Gas and Water took another step away from TVA as staff recommended it issue its first ever request for proposals for new energy sources.

Utilities and cooperatives in the Southeast have been meeting for months on a plan to create a regional 15-minute energy market.

Memphis Light, Gas and Water is mulling whether to defect from the Tennessee Valley Authority in order to acquire power from MISO or another supplier.

Entergy Mississippi gained FERC approval to purchase the 810-MW Choctaw Generating Station for $314 million from NRG Wholesale Generation.

FERC called for reliability rules requiring generator owners to winterize units, citing a cold snap that caused MISO and SPP to seek load reductions.

MISO’s Independent Market Monitor has a different opinion of the RTO’s summer supply picture three weeks into the season.

PG&E named the former head of the TVA as its CEO and assembled a “refreshed” board of 13 directors including people with FERC and EIM experience.
