Environmentalists, preservationists and renewable energy advocates are at odds over the approval of a MISO transmission line designed to carry wind energy.

SPP’s Holistic Integrated Tariff Team shared with stakeholders a draft report of high-level recommendations addressing the footprint’s many challenges.

SPP is stepping up its bid to offer market services in the Western Interconnection, with interested participants approaching the RTO for more details.

Fast-moving Texas legislation that would give incumbent utilities the right of first refusal to build transmission projects is on the brink of passage.

PJM will assemble a task force dedicated to studying the impacts of carbon pricing throughout the RTO’s footprint under a problem statement and issue charge approved by the MRC.

MISO is accepting proposals designed to relieve its costly North-South transmission constraint, but is still zeroing in on how to evaluate submissions.

Two of three economic study requests presented at ISO-NE’s Planning Advisory Committee meeting pertained to offshore wind development.

Research suggests offshore wind farms offer huge potential for capacity gains in PJM’s footprint, but will take a significant buildout of transmission to unlock that possibility.

PJM wants stakeholder feedback about whether its Distributed Energy Resource Ride Through Task Force should pivot in a new direction.

After prodding by stakeholders, MISO says it will boost renewable generation estimates in each of the four 15-year future scenarios that guide its annual transmission planning process.
