Electricity Sector, Docket No. AD21–10–000 (March 

16, 2021), https://www.ferc.gov/sites/default/files/ 

2021-03/AD21-10-000supp.pdf. 

both short-term and long-term reforms 

to aspects of ISO–NE’s capacity, energy, 

and ancillary services markets could be 

needed if CASPR and the Offer Review 

Trigger Prices (ORTPs) are modified or 

eliminated. 

i. What, if any, are the short-term and 

long-term challenges of removing 

CASPR and the ORTPs from ISO–NE’s 

capacity market? What market design 

changes, if any, would be necessary to 

preserve the capacity market’s ability to 

ensure resource adequacy? If changes 

are necessary, how quickly would ISO– 

NE need to implement short-term 

changes following the removal of 

CASPR and ORTP? 

ii. What other specific modifications 

to ISO–NE’s capacity market rules may 

be necessary? For example, should 

capacity accreditation rules for various 

resource types, the shape of the capacity 

market demand curve, the net cost of 

new entry estimates, or mechanisms to 

ensure fuel security, among others, be 

revised and if so why, and how? 

Approximately how long would it take 

ISO–NE and stakeholders to develop 

and implement each additional needed 

reform? Assuming any such 

modifications are necessary, which 

should be prioritized in the short-term, 

and which should be pursued in the 

long-term? 

iii. Some panelists expressed 

concerns that ORTPs are necessary to 

prevent cost shifts between New 

England states. Please explain whether 

and if so, how these cost shifts would 

occur if CASPR and the ORTPs were 

eliminated. Is there a way to mitigate 

such an effect? Please explain. 

Additionally, please discuss the extent 

to which certain impacts are 

unavoidable in a regional market where 

participating resources are located in 

multiple states. 

3. Long-Term Options and Centralized 

Procurement of Clean Energy 

a. What benefits would a centralized 

clean procurement mechanism in ISO– 

NE provide to the ISO–NE states and the 

ISO–NE markets? What would be the 

goals of such approaches and what are 

important design considerations in 

developing any potential market 

mechanism? What are the downsides of 

pursuing such constructs? What 

concerns regarding potential undue 

discrimination may arise from 

implementing such new market 

constructs, if any? 

b. What are potential challenges to 

developing the new market constructs 

discussed in this panel (e.g., would 

interstate compacts be required)? How 

could those challenges be overcome? 

For example, New England states have 

policies that support different types of 

resources (e.g., offshore wind). Could a 

standard product be developed and 

centrally procured in ISO–NEadministered markets to meet these 

diverse state policy goals? Given the 

differences in state policies, is it 

possible to define products that 

resources could provide (e.g., zeroemission generation) and incorporate 

the procurement of those products into 

Commission-jurisdictional markets? 

c. Stakeholder discussions to date 

have focused on the Forward Clean 

Energy Market and Integrated Clean 

Capacity Market as potential 

frameworks. What are the key design 

features of these proposals? What are 

the advantages and disadvantages of 

these approaches? 

d. Given that many state policy goals 

target electricity generation (e.g., 

Renewable Portfolio Standards that 

target a percentage of electric loads), 

would it be more effective to develop 

such a construct within the energy and 

ancillary services markets?
