FERC dismisses Fuel Cell’s (Derby’s) request for waiver of Tariff Section III.13.A.2(b) (Interim Reconfiguration Auction Qualification) as unnecessary, finding entities such as Derby need not elect Critical Path Monitoring to qualify for participation in the FCA18 reconfiguration auction (an election not otherwise applicable to resources that have already achieved commercial operation).  Further finding that Derby Fuel Cell had not missed any applicable deadlines in the reconfiguration auction qualification process, the FERC noted its expectation that ISO-NE will treat the Derby Project as a qualifying resource for the upcoming reconfiguration auctions to the extent that it has satisfied all other applicable requirements.

FERC grants CMP’s request for a 21-day extension of time, until March 23, 2026, to answer NESCOE’s Feb 9 formal challenge
