ISO-NE fuel-security order could distort　FCA 14 if not remedied soon: generators

摘要

Generators reiterated their call for the Federal Energy RegulatoryCommission to rethink an order approving ISO New England's shorttermfuel-security fixes, this time asserting a September 26 deadlinefor commission action to prevent harm to the region’s next forwardcapacity auction.The New England Power Generators Association took issue with anaspect of FERC’s December 3 order (ER18-2364, EL18-182) thatrequires resources retained by ISO-NE for fuel security to be enteredinto FCAs as price takers, which submit offers at a price of zero toensure they clear the market.At stake is over half a billion dollars in price suppression and thedisplacement of more than 1 GW of otherwise economic resources,NEPGA argued in its initial January 2 request for rehearing thataccused FERC of ignoring substantial evidence of price suppressionand market distortion.
