Capacity market participation (FERC Order 2222)
In the Energy, Power & Commodities sector, capacity market participation rules are being redrawn by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's Order 2222, which for the first time requires Regional Transmission Organizations and Independent System Operators to open their capacity markets to distributed energy resource aggregations. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and, at the state level, the California Public Utilities Commission and the New York Public Service Commission are actively working through compliance filings, tariff revisions, and eligibility disputes that directly affect how utilities, storage operators, and aggregators qualify and bid into these markets. Compliance teams are currently reconciling aggregator registration requirements against RTO-specific tariff language before filing deadlines that vary by region.
Watch
- FERC Order 2222 compliance filing deadlines across individual RTO and ISO tariffs
- Distributed energy resource aggregator eligibility disputes pending at FERC dockets
- California Public Utilities Commission rulemaking on DER participation rules and aggregator certification
- New York Public Service Commission Value of Distributed Energy Resources proceedings intersecting capacity market access
- State net metering and interconnection rules that block or delay Order 2222 aggregation eligibility
