Docket Brief Description
May 2 Dominion Manchester Street FCA10 Complaint EL16-38 FERC issues order finding the ISO-NE Tariff unjust and unreasonable for its lack of clarity as to whether new incremental capacity and existing capacity at the same generating station must submit a composite offer in order to participate in a FCA but denies Dominion’s requested relief (resettlement of the auction results to allow Dominion’s new
incremental capacity to be treated as if it had participated in FCA10); compliance filing due on or before July 1 with Tariff language (i) expressly addressing whether new incremental and existing capacity at the same resource must submit a composite offer (and to provide the rationale for any such requirement); and (ii) allowing an existing generating resource to lock-in the price for the new incremental capacity (or reasons why the lock-in should not be allowed).
