PJM's Markets and Reliability Committee and Members Committee will meet Oct. 25, with potential votes on creating a fifth cost of new entry area for the Commonwealth Edison zone in Illinois, the 2023 Reserve Requirement Study and capacity offers for generators with co-located load.

NYISO will ask FERC to eliminate certain interconnection study processes and give queued projects more flexibility to proceed.

ISO-NE can consider transmission-only battery storage as an option to address transmission system issues, FERC ruled.

DOE announced $3.46 billion in funding for grid resilience and improvement projects, including the MISO-SPP joint targeted interconnection queue portfolio.

ISO-NE is pursuing an alternative compliance pathway on FERC Order 2023 regarding storage resource interconnection, hoping to sidestep the need for “control technology,” the RTO told the NEPOOL Transmission Committee.

Transmission upgrades that are needed to avoid overloads in a fully electrified New England by 2050 could cumulatively cost between $22 billion and $26 billion, ISO-NE told its Planning Advisory Committee.

Just three of MISO’s 11 member sectors voted to support the RTO’s $9 billion 2023 Transmission Expansion Plan.

NYISO did not identify any new near-term reliability issues in its third-quarter STAR, but it does anticipate significant load increases in western and central New York that could warrant more attention.
