ISO New England Releases Updated Wholesale Markets Project Plan for 2025
ISO New England recently released an updated Wholesale Markets Project Plan (WMPP) as of June 2025. This document provides a snapshot of the progress on 13 key initiatives impacting the region’s wholesale electricity markets.
The WMPP is a recurring publication, released both in the summer and winter months. It complements the ISO’s Annual Work Plan, which is issued during the spring and fall.
ISO New England consistently works on various projects to improve and evolve the wholesale electricity markets. A major focus currently is the Capacity Auction Reforms, which involves shifting to a prompt and seasonal capacity market and revising capacity accreditation processes.
The comprehensive WMPP webpage serves as a central resource, bringing together the Annual Work Plan, the WMPP itself, details on key projects, a record of completed market design projects, the NEPOOL Markets Committee Two-Month Look-Ahead Forecast, and agendas and materials from Markets Committee meetings.
Additional resources are readily accessible, including direct links to Federal Energy Regulatory Commission filings and orders, and the ISO’s Participant Readiness Project Outlook page, designed to keep market participants and others informed about these critical market-related developments.
