RENEW submits Supplemental Affidavits as further evidence in support of its Dec 13, 2022 Complaint; requests that the FERC issue an order on an expedited basis determining that Schedules 11 and 21 of the ISO-NE OATT are unjust and unreasonable to the extent they permit transmission owners to directly assign to Interconnection Customers O&M costs associated with Network Upgrades constructed to facilitate a generator interconnection.

PSNH files Interconnection Study Agreement with Wok, LLC, which is proposing to potentially construct a facility and establish a load interconnection to PSNH’s transmission system, to cover the costs of assessing the viability of a potential interconnection and providing high-level, non-binding cost estimates for the portion of such infrastructure that would be paid for by Wok.

Mystic requests waiver of the deadlines in Sections II.6.A and II.4.F of the Protocols so that the deadline to make the 2024 Informational Filing (and subsequent related deadlines) can be delayed to allow Mystic and active intervenors in ER18-1639-027, who have agreed to a settlement in principle in that proceeding, to determine whether a settlement can be reached that may impact or obviate the need for the filing or challenges that might be filed subsequent thereto; comment deadline Aug 2, 2024.  

FERC accepts, eff. July 9, 2024, the proposed revisions to Section 16 of Attachment K of the OATT that establish, as part of an optional, longer-term transmission planning process, the mechanisms that enable the New England states to develop policy-based transmission facilities in connection with Longer-Term Transmission Studies (“LTTS”), and the associated cost allocation methods for these upgrades (the “LTTP Phase 2 Changes”).  With respect to changes to three definitions in Section I.2.2, previously accepted though not yet intended to be effective, and inadvertently included with these Tariff changes, as described in ISO-NE’s June 20, 2024 supplement, the FERC directed ISO-NE to submit a compliance filing on or before Aug 7 backing out those yet-to-be-effective changes.

FERC approves Stipulation and Consent Agreement that resolves OE’s investigation into whether Galt, and as to certain obligations Customized Energy Solutions, violated the FERC’s Anti-Manipulation Rule and the Federal Power Act by repeatedly engaging in prohibited wash trades between the NYISO and ISO-NE markets between Jul 8, 2016 and Apr 23, 2019.  Galt agreed to to:  (a) pay a civil penalty of $1.5 million; (b) disgorge (with interest) $372,297.85 to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts; and (c) submit two annual compliance monitoring reports, with a third annual compliance monitoring report at OE’s discretion.
