By David Jwanier With PJM planners nearing a proposed fix for the Artificial Island stability problem, the issue of who will pay for the project took center...

FERC rejected Consolidated Edison's attempt to avoid paying for a major transmission upgrade in northern New Jersey but suggested it might order PJM to recalculate the company’s bill.

State regulators and PJM transmission owners plan to meet to narrow their differences over rules for “multi-driver” transmission projects.

PJM told FERC that it should reject an attempt by Consolidated Edison Co. to avoid paying for more than half of a $1.2 billion transmission upgrade to address a short circuit problem in the PSE&G transmission zone.

PJM and MISO last week asked FERC to settle an Order 1000 standoff over cost allocation of cross-border reliability projects.

FERC’s ruling requires PJM or its transmission owners to make additional filings to achieve compliance with Order 1000. Those tasks are below by category.

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) today rejected a bid by PJM transmission owners to retain their rights of first refusal (ROFR) over transmission reliability projects while approving the owners’ proposed “hybrid” cost allocation for new high-voltage lines.
