FERC, on voluntary remand, affirmed its prior decision to exempt renewable resources in ISO New England from buyer side mitigation in the forward capacity market, including the minimum offer price rule

"We continue to find that including an exemption to ISO-NE’s minimum offer price rule is not per se unjust and unreasonable simply because it has the potential to suppress prices in the FCM," FERC said

"The renewables exemption fulfills the Commission’s statutory mandate by protecting consumers from paying for redundant capacity. As discussed in ISO-NE’s filing, the redundant capacity results from consumers paying for capacity that cleared through the FCA and separately paying for renewable resources built by state entities to meet state policy objectives," FERC said

Docket No. ER14-1639-004
