☆ U.S. Midwest grid operator flags urgent need for market reforms
  + stars: | 2023-05-18 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
The reforms are needed "to maintain reliability and send the right pricing signals to the market," said Clair Moeller, president and CEO at Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO). For the zone which covers most of Louisiana and southeast Texas, the clearing prices for fall and winter were $59/MW-day and $19/MW-day, respectively. Market participants who postpone the retirement of resources and import additional capacity this year may not be able to repeat those measures in the future, said Moeller. "We continue to see uncertainty and volatility in the auction results year-over-year, and managing the system in real-time is becoming more challenging," Moeller added.

Jurors also found that Mr. Trump defamed Ms. Carroll in comments he made denying her allegations, which she first made publicly in 2019.

Mr. Weisselberg, 75 years old, went to Rikers on Jan. 10, immediately after a Manhattan judge sentenced him to five months in jail for his role in an off-the-books compensation scheme at the Trump Organization. As part of a plea deal, Mr. Weisselberg pleaded guilty and testified at the trial of the Trump Organization, which a jury convicted of tax fraud and other offenses. That deal, however, didn’t require Mr. Weisselberg to cooperate more broadly in other investigations of Mr. Trump and his company.
