The Edison Electric Institute has released a white paper that proposes raising the hurdles for those challenging transmission owners’ returns on equity.

A FERC administrative law judge ruled that municipal utilities and commission staff failed to prove that a group of transmission owners’ base return on equity is unjust.

FERC denied requests by New England transmission owners for rehearing of its ruling regarding complaints over their base return on equity.

The Eastern Massachusetts Consumer-Owned Systems has asked FERC to reduce the return on equity earned by New England TOs.
