Some of the proposed wholesale capacity market rule changes that are projected to increase costs for 61 million Mid-Atlantic and Midwest energy customers – and tend to favor fossil fuel generation over carbon-free resources – are being revised, but not all of them.
The Sustainable FERC Project coalition opposed these proposed rules and advocated for specific changes in the event they take effect. The federal agency regulating these markets is siding with us on some issues, and where it disagrees with us, we will continue to find ways forward.
