[Docket No. AD25-7-000]
Meeting the Challenge of Resource Adequacy in Regional
Transmission Organization and Independent System Operator Regions;
Supplemental Notice of Commissioner-Led Technical Conference
As announced in the February 20, 2025 Notice in this proceeding,
the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) will convene a
Commissioner-led technical conference in the above-referenced
proceeding. The two-day technical conference will take place from 9:00
a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on Wednesday, June 4, 2025, and
Thursday, June 5, 2025, in the Kevin J. McIntyre Commission Meeting
Room at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE,
Washington, DC 20426.
The purpose of this technical conference is to discuss generic
issues related to resource adequacy constructs, including the roles of
capacity markets in the Regional Transmission Organization (RTO)/
Independent System Operator (ISO) regions that utilize them and
alternative constructs in RTO/ISO regions without capacity markets. The
conference will start with a panel discussion on resource

adequacy challenges across RTO/ISO regions, including regional
differences. The remainder of the first day will include three panels
specific to PJM Interconnection, L.L.C. (PJM) that will explore PJM's
resource adequacy challenge, PJM states' perspectives, and additional
perspectives on PJM's path forward. The second day will start with two
panels specific to Midcontinent Independent System Operator, Inc.
(MISO) that will explore MISO's resource adequacy challenge and
perspectives on MISO's path forward. The remainder of the second day
will include one panel to explore the resource adequacy challenge in
ISO New England Inc. (ISO-NE) and New York Independent System Operator,
Inc. (NYISO) and a final panel on the resource adequacy challenge in
California Independent System Operator Corporation (CAISO) and
Southwest Power Pool (SPP). The preliminary agenda for this conference
is attached to this Supplemental Notice and provides more detail for
each panel.
The Commission does not intend to discuss at this technical
conference any specific proceeding pending before the Commission. The
Commission will issue a further supplemental notice before the
