Post-Technical Conference Questions 

for Comment 

1. Relationship Between State Policies 

and ISO New England Inc.’s Markets 

a. In October 2020, the New England 

States Committee on Electricity 

(NESCOE) released a vision statement 

that called for ISO–NE to provide an 

appropriate level of state involvement in 

wholesale market design and 

implementation.2 Please provide an 

update on the discussions in the region 

since the vision statement was released. 

b. Please explain how states are 

currently involved in market design and 

implementation processes. How are 

states’ perspectives considered in these 

processes? How is information shared 

with states related to these processes? 

What is the appropriate role for New 

England states with respect to ISO–NE 

capacity market reforms? 

c. New England Power Pool 

(NEPOOL), in coordination with 

NESCOE and ISO–NE representatives, 

launched the ‘‘New England’s Future 

Grid Initiative’’ in two parallel 

processes to (1) define and assess the 

future state of the region’s power 

system; and (2) explore and evaluate 

potential market frameworks that could 

be pursued to accommodate state 

policies focused on decarbonization.3

What is the current status of each of 

these stakeholder processes? 

d. Many New England states have 

established long-term policy goals and/ 

or statutory requirements to reduce 

greenhouse gas emissions and increase 

clean energy generation. Consistent with 

these goals, several states have 

instituted programs to promote the 

development of renewable energy 

resources and to retain existing zeroemitting generation resources. How do 

the current ISO–NE market rules affect 

implementation of existing or proposed 

state policies? If states have differing 

policy goals, how should these be 

accommodated in the ISO–NE capacity 

market? How do one state’s actions to 

shape the resource mix affect other 

states? Should such effects be 

addressed, and if so, how? 

e. Is ISO–NE’s existing capacity 

market design, including the 

Competitive Auctions with Sponsored 

Policy Resources (CASPR) framework 

effective in ensuring resource adequacy 

at just and reasonable rates? Why or 

why not? Is it compatible with 

achieving New England states’ policies? 

Given the small quantity of capacity 

cleared through the substitution 

auction, is CASPR achieving its goals? Is 

CASPR’s current design durable? Why, 

or why not? 

2. Short-Term Options and 

Complementary Potential Market 

Changes To Accommodate State 

Policies in ISO–NE 

a. Should ISO–NE’s capacity market 

design, including the CASPR 

framework, change to better 

accommodate state policies? If so, how? 

b. As the resource mix in ISO–NE 

continues to evolve, what new 

challenges are presented? Are the needs 

of the evolving resource mix better 

addressed in the capacity market or the 

energy and ancillary services markets, 

or are changes needed in both? Please 

explain. 

c. At the March 23, 2021 technical 

conference,4 panelists suggested that
