The impasse over the ERO’s latest cold weather standard has ended, with EOP-012-2 finally receiving enough votes from industry stakeholders to pass its third formal comment and ballot period.

Both EPA and FERC received comments on how reliability can be maintained under the former’s power plant rule that requires fossil fuel-fired units to curtail their emissions.

As utilities and regulators face unprecedented growth in power demand, figuring out how to plan and finance distribution systems has become a fast-moving target, according to speakers at the GridWise Alliance gridCONNEXT conference.

FERC hosted a senior EPA staffer and heard from the industry and states on how the environmental regulator's latest proposal to cut carbon emissions from  power plants will impact grid reliability as it is implemented.

FERC extended the compliance deadline for its interconnection queue rulemaking by four months, to April 3, 2024.

FERC got rehearing requests on its interconnection queue reforms in Order 2023 this week from around the industry.

EPA received comments on its proposal to regulate greenhouse gases from power plants, with some, including ISO/RTOs, arguing the proposal needed major improvements to preserve reliability.

States, RTOs and others warned DOE not to let transmission developers dominate the development of National Interest Electric Transmission Corridors.

A coalition of environmental groups wrote a letter to every EEI member CEO asking them to support EPA’s proposed emissions standards for power plants.
