Jon Lamson will have a piece on the NEPOOL Transmission Committee and its discussion of ISO-NE’s Order 2023 compliance. 

John Norris will report on a series of three NYPA meetings that will focus on how the state will implement the proposed cap-and-invest program. John will also report on the NYISO Electric System Planning Working Group and Transmission Planning Advisory Subcommittee, which will discuss the 2023-2042 System and Resource Outlook report. 

Devin Leith-Yessian will follow along with the PJM Risk Management Committee, as it discusses a problem statement and issue charge seeking to increase the RTO’s awareness of cybersecurity risks and incidents among its members. The MRC will also hold a first read of several manual revisions largely stemming from the documents’ periodic review, while the MC is set to consider the endorsement of a proposal to rework several aspects of the regulation market design. 

Tom Kleckner will have a story on the ERCOT Technical Advisory Committee, which figures to take up a slew of revision requests, elect its leadership and confirm subcommittees’ leadership. 

Meanwhile, Tom will also check in on the SPP Markets+’s Participant Executive Committee as it gathers in Westminster, Colo., to review and approve more tariff language, discuss independent sector voting and consider the Greenhouse Gas Task Force’s non-pricing program recommendation.
