November 28, 2023
In its Short-Term Reliability Process Report, the New York Independent System Operator (NYISO) said plants scheduled for retirement in May of 2025 may have to stay in service longer temporarily to keep the grid reliable in New York City.
These plants, called peaker plants, are relied upon as a last resort when consumer demand is highest.
