Circuit") remanded FERC's decision denying complaints that the ISO New England, Inc.'s ("ISO-NE") rules locking in prices for new entrants to ISO-NE's Forward Capacity Market ("FCM") result in price suppression and discriminatory rates for existing suppliers. In doing so, the D.C. Circuit held that FERC did not adequately explain why its prior decision to reject a similar proposal did not apply to ISO-NE's rules. 202. 274.2870 202. 274.2886 202. 662.2181 404. 885.3683 ClitfordTWora 202. 274.2966 Emaij Wra Skidmore 503. 290.2310 Email FERC Conditionally Accepts P J fi Tariff Amendment ated to Pseudo-Ties arid Dynarr hedules By Adrienne Thompson & Jasmine H ite s on February 13, 2018 POSTED IN GENERATION, MARKET POLICY I SUBSCRIBE On February 5, 2018, FERC conditionally accepted a proposal by the PJM Interconnection, L.L.C.

The affiliate restrictions protect captive customers from potential harm if a franchised public utility interacts with its affiliates in ways that would transfer benefits to the affiliate to the detriment of the captive customer. FERC granted the waiver to FirstEnergy, with the condition that it must keep sufficient records to permit the Commission to audit whether FirstEnergy's representations that it would not harm captive customers are true. f W In 0 Troutman Sanders LLP.
