Industrial energy users and other ratepayers are balking at FERC’s proposal to abandon Order 1000’s competition measures.

The first meeting of the Mid-America Regulatory Conference in two years focused on transmission needs that are necessary for a fast-changing energy landscape.

Time is running out to build the infrastructure needed to meet climate challenges, transmission planners, generation developers and others warned.

MISO expects the savings it delivers to its members under a resource sharing pool to more than triple within 20 years.

FERC Commissioner Mark Christie said the agency's transmission NOPR gives the states plenty of flexibility to plan their public policy-focused projects.

Ex-FERC Commissioners Norman Bay and Colette Honorable told war stories and commented on recent commission rulemakings at a forum on energy storage policy.

FERC's NOPR on transmission planning and cost allocation is based on false premises and undermines the agency's credibility, says columnist Steve Huntoon.

SPP staff added details to a joint proposal with MISO for replacing their affected systems study process with interregional transmission analyses.

FERC proposed new rules it said would clear clogged interconnection queues and provide more certainty on upgrade costs while encouraging new technologies.

FERC approved two NOPRs on Thursday aimed at improving utilities' planning for the long-term impacts of climate change to the bulk power system.
