🚨 Pleased to have helped with this GREAT law review article published in the UCLA Journal of Environmental Law & Policy, which addresses the uneconomic self-commitment of coal powerplants in the electric power markets with a focus on antitrust implications. escholarship.org/uc/item/6329...

🚨Pretty big news out of MISO this morning. A continuing LOLE error that has existed since 2017 has resulted in a "total financial impact based on net positions [of] approximately $280 million." In other words, load was over-charged. cdn.misoenergy.org/20250820%20R...

This could have been stood up through FERC’s OPP. In fact, numerous groups encouraged this in their comments regarding the creation of that office. If this is so important, why didn’t he just do it? He had every opportunity as Chair…

It is not only a problem of delays related to turbine production, but there are additional delays layered on top of that, including labor shortages and specialized materials delays as well.

🚨 At the @ferc.gov open meeting today Chairman Christie states that he plans to stay at FERC through the July 2025 Open Meeting. #EnergySky

New data from @rockymtninst.bsky.social shows every U.S. state would have lost more money in 2024 if their coal plants had been self-committed 100% of the time. #EnergySky jb-updates-june-2025--sharp-noyce-377408.netlify.app/economic-dis...

With the Campbell 202c order, DOE is attempting to make RMR-like decisions that are unwarranted. DOE cites NERC’s summer assessment report as support, but even MISO, its market monitor, and at least one of its member states (Wisconsin PUC) think that the report lacks merit.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the Energy Imperatives Summit, REALLY could work on increasing the diversity of its speakers…yikes…😬

Reports are out that Chairman Mark Christie will leave #FERC in July and Laura Swett will take his place, if confirmed. #EnergySky

🚨 #FERC REJECTS MISO's flawed ERAS proposal by a 2-1 vote. The Commission wasn't satisfied that the discriminatory proposal was justified and properly tailored. #EnergySky www.sierraclub.org/sites/defaul...

People say we need less NEPA. I say hogwash; instead, maybe it’s time to consider expanding NEPA to #FERC’s administration of the Federal Power Act.

Oil executives calling Trump’s policies “economic vandalism…”.

Yesterday, Earthjustice filed comments in FERC’s co-location docket (EL25-49). The demand for co-location is largely driven by developers’ desire for speed to market, but speed to market should not, and cannot, result in sacrificing comprehensive system planning. elibrary.ferc.gov/eLibrary/fil...

PJM badly needs to tighten up their large load adjustment forecasting process that essentially accepts whatever forecast the Utes allege (who all use wildly different forecasting criteria!). x.com/tkavulla/sta...

Hey, Philly area lawyers. Time to retake the Oath. philadelphiabar.org?pg=events&ev...

These firms will be remembered.

Hey Utility Dive, do states like Illinois and Michigan, who oppose this horribly misguided escapade, not exist? Great to see a bipartisan group of former FERC commissioners agreeing with a Earthjustice’s position in opposing ERAS. #EnergySky www.utilitydive.com/news/miso-fe...

ENERGY LAW students!!

🚨 Today, on behalf of several groups, Earthjustice filed a challenge to Constellation's proposed acquisition of Calpine at FERC. You can find the Protest below. FERC docket No. EC25-43. #EnergySky www.citizen.org/article/ferc...

Fair play to Williams Connelly.

@rtoinsider.bsky.social needs to do better here. Not a single quote from a clean energy trade or clean energy advocate. MISO’s ERAS proposal is a fast track for gas. That’s it. That’s the ballgame here. Yet, it’s implicitly framed as fuel neutral. It is not. www.rtoinsider.com/99896-miso-q...

“Back-channel efforts to persuade major law firms to sign public statements criticizing Trump’s actions thus far have foundered, in part because of retaliation fears, people familiar with the matter said.” Pathetic BigLaw cowardice. www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

No, we need more phase-outs of the leaky, dirty, and unreliable gas grid. www.cleanenergywire.org/news/german-...

Rep. Fedorchak and I agree on at least one thing, we ought *not* extend the life of uneconomic power gen… #NARUC

Panelist Chris Harris (IBEW) at #NARUC detailed how threats to disaster first responders have never been worse, but didn’t go as far as to mention WHY. In case anybody else forgot… newrepublic.com/post/187137/...

Lots of talk at the opening “Mutual Assistance” General Session at #NARUC about increasing storm frequency and intensity…yet, not a single panelist has managed to conjure the strength to mention the words “climate change.”

Entering #NARUC…

Oh, hell no.

Chair Christie is taking a very limited view of the effects of this EO. Consultation is already common practice on major issues. He says that EO would only align FERC-DOJ legal opinions on major SCOTUS-level cases, and wouldn't prevent Commissioners from dissenting on major orders.

The February @FERC open meeting ends without a word on the EOs. #EnergySky

Seems to me like if you have to do an RRI or an ERAs proposal, as an ISO you are admitting a) your capacity market is broken, b) your interconnection process is broken, or c) both

On January 24 Voltus filed a Section 206 complaint against MISO (EL25-52). "Voltus asked FERC to deem MISO’s stricter testing and contractual requirements unenforceable because they stand to affect rates and had not been filed with FERC for approval." #EnergySky www.rtoinsider.com/96627-voltus...

“During winter extremes, the electric system in the Northeast is dependent upon reliable natural gas supply. When rare, but well-observed contingencies occur, reliability is gravely threatened.” - NERC President and CEO Jim Robb Gas is reliable except when you most need it to be reliable...🤷‍♂️

Just in case anybody missed it, on January 15, 2025, Susquehanna Nuclear filed a Petition for Review in the 5th Circuit re #FERC's Order Rejecting Amendments to Interconnection Service Agreement Docket No. ER24-2172, 189 FERC ¶ 61,078 (Nov. 1, 2024). #EnergySky elibrary.ferc.gov/eLibrary/fil...

Hey #EnergySky, anybody have a comprehensive list of #FERC dockets where load growth (AI, data centers, etc) is the primary issue? If not, please add to this one! Docket No. AD24-11; ER24-1610; ER24-2172; ER24-2888 - 2894; ER24-2447; EL25-20; EC24-125; EL24-149; ER25-712 . . .

FERC has issued a decision on MISO's second compliance order - elibrary.ferc.gov/eLibrary/fil... 1) FERC found MISO did not comply with the DRR Type I model, sent it back to the drawing board, "the DRR-Type I model does not fully comply with Order No. 2222."

#FERC's Orders on these matters: 1) #SPP Capacity Accreditation (ER24-1317, et al.) - Suspended and set for paper hearing. 2) #MISO O2222 Compliance (ER22-1640) - Accepted and subject to further Compliance. 3) #SPP Markets+ (ER24-1648) - Accepted and subject to further Compliance. #EnergySky

The Sunshine Notice for the #FERC January Open Meeting has several notable items: 1) #SPP Capacity Accreditation (ER24-1317, consolidated) 2) #MISO O2222 Compliance (ER22-1640) 3) #SPP Markets+ (ER24-1648) #EnergySky ferc.gov/news-events/...

🌞 @ferc.gov programming note: The Sunshine Notice for the January 16th Commission meeting will be posted later today. Thurs, Jan 9, is declared a National Day of Mourning by President Biden in honor of the death of Former President Jimmy Carter with federal offices closed. 🔌💡

Rather than a laser like focus on the existing queues, RTO/ISOs are creating untenable separate queue jumping studies (PJM/RRI, MISO/ERAS, SPP/ERAS). It is a PROBLEM.

Really interesting new white paper that examines the costs, scalability, and speed of deployment of gigantic solar-battery-generator microgrids for data centers. This out to be in front of #FERC in Docket No. AD24-11. #EnergySky www.offgridai.us

🚨 SPP's new O2222 compliance filing is in at #FERC. Big shift in this proposal from single-node to multi-node participation for DR aggregators. This was the BIG issue @earthjustice.bsky.social fought for in our protest to SPP's initial filing! #EnergySky elibrary.ferc.gov/eLibrary/fil...
