Three stakeholder working groups charged with designing key elements of CAISO’s proposed extended day-ahead market for the Western EIM began meeting this week.

FERC Chair Richard Glick said there is “a lot to be done” to build out the transmission grid to handle the clean energy transition.

A PJM study said transmission upgrades could cost as much as $3.2 billion by 2035 to accommodate state renewable goals.

FERC approved CAISO's controversial rule changes on wheel-throughs, intended to ensure the ISO has adequate capacity this summer.

In his annual State of the Market report, MISO’s Monitor said transmission congestion and heightened ramping needs continue to dog the RTO.

MISO execs say long-term transmission and a capacity market redesign are a must in response to rising climate risks and fleet change.

Western states must work together to build transmission avoid blackouts, Idaho Power CEO Lisa Grow and CAISO CEO Elliot Mainzer agreed.

SPP staff assured stakeholders they are looking into the causes of congestion around the MISO seam following a third month of record M2M settlements.

The NYISO markets performed competitively in the third quarter, but the use of OOM actions to meet reliability was a concern, the MMU said.

FERC ordered a technical conference to investigate overlapping congestion charges imposed on pseudo-tie transactions between MISO and SPP.
