FERC issues an Allegheny Order on the requests for clarification and/or reh’g of its Mar 1, 2023 Order 2222 Compliance Order (Order),

• modifying the discussion in the Order (e.g. clarifying that metering data may come from or flow through distribution utilities if ISO-NE coordinates with distribution utilities and relevant electric retail regulatory authorities to establish protocols for sharing such metering data and explains how such protocols minimize costs and other burdens and address concerns raised with respect to privacy and cybersecurity),
• setting aside the Order, in part (setting aside the Nov 1, 2022 effective date, in favor, likely, of the effective date proposed by ISO-NE in its subsequent compliance filing), and
• granting and denying in part the New England Public Utilities’ requests for clarification (clarifying that Host Utilities are not prohibited from requiring metering and settlement data from each DER comprising a DERA to satisfy any relevant obligations (e.g. wholesale settlement and/or retail customer billing) and denying as premature the Utilities’ cost concerns with the FERC’s finding that ISO-NE failed to demonstrate that its proposed metering and telemetry requirements were just and reasonable).
