U.S. electricity outage hours reached their highest levels in a decade in 2024 due to the impact of Hurricanes Beryl, Helene and Milton, the EIA reported.

The longstanding links between U.S. and Canadian electricity grid operators won’t be easily fractured by the  tariff-driven political rift between D.C., and Ottawa, industry participants on both sides of the border say.

FERC approved a transmission security agreement between PECO Energy and Amazon for a data center planned in Falls Township, Pa.

Many comments on the Department of Energy’s Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to FERC on large load interconnections warned against going too far into jurisdictional issues.

MISO is to roll out a new transmission warning declaration to give its members advanced notice when scarce transmission capacity is raising the risk of load shed.

A new FERC report adds to the growing body of work showing the complexity of confronting the seams issues likely to arise between the West’s two day-ahead markets when compared with challenges at the borders between RTOs and ISOs in the Eastern U.S.

SPP says the development of its Markets+ day-ahead market in the West is proceeding on time and under budget, with the hard part yet to come.

MISO said all four recommendations in the Independent Market Monitor’s 2024 State of the Market Report are likely viable.

MISO’s Independent Market Monitor said a MISO South September transmission emergency shows the RTO needs a better handle on constraint management within its markets.

The National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners passed a resolution urging FERC to resist the Department of Energy’s push to give itself jurisdiction over large loads interconnecting with the grid.
