FERC approves changes in ancillary service sales, reporting

摘要

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission issued final rules July 18 intending to bring greater competition and transparency to markets for ancillary services to the transmission grid. FERC said its final rules (RM11-24) are to enhance the ability of ancillary services providers to compete for sale of services to public utility transmission providers. Ancillary services such as energy storage, regulation, frequency response, reactive supply, scheduling, and black start can be provided by conventional and pumped-storage projects.
