Aaron Markham, NYISO vice president of operations, presented the 2025-2026 Winter Capacity Assessment and Winter Preparedness forecasts to the Operating Committee.

NYISO’s consumer impact analysis for the Winter Reliability Capacity Enhancements project found that under the scenarios it considered, installed capacity procurement costs would drop by 15 to 45% depending on locality

NYISO told stakeholders it was no longer considering seasonal capacity accreditation factors because it found they would disincentivize participation in the capacity market.
