NEPGA filed a protest asking FERC to reject ISO-NE’s proposed Installed Capacity Requirement values for the three Forward Capacity Market Annual Reconfiguration Auctions that will be run in calendar year 2016 (ER16-446). NEPGA explains that ISO-NE failed to consider the potential market and operational consequences of reducing ICR based on ISO-NE’s forecast of incremental behind the meter solar PV generation installed in the relevant Capacity Commitment Period, contrary to FERC’s directive that ISO-NE do so prior to filing its ICR values with FERC.
