[Docket No. AD25-7-000]


Meeting the Challenge of Resource Adequacy in Regional 
Transmission Organization and Independent System Operator Regions; 
Second 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.
    Commission staff will post pre-filed statements submitted by 
panelists on the FERC technical conference web page prior to the 
conference and in eLibrary. With the exception of opening statements on 
Panel 1, which may be delivered orally, all other panels will proceed 
immediately to questions from the Chairman and Commissioners.
    All interested persons are also invited to file pre-technical 
conference comments in eLibrary on the issues of the conference, 
including the questions listed in the attached agenda. Commenters need 
not answer all the questions but are encouraged to organize responses 
using the numbering and sequencing in the attached agenda.
    The Commission does not intend to discuss at this technical 
conference any specific proceeding pending before the Commission, 
including proceedings that involve similar issues. These proceedings 
include, but are not limited to:
