Voltus filed a complaint at FERC over MISO's interpretation of a recent rule change that led the grid operator to stop accepting replacements for customers who sign up to provide demand response but retire.

The electric power industry must step up to meet growing power demand and continue to build a system the country needs, said Javier Fernandez, CEO of the Omaha Public Power District. "This is one place where we cannot afford to fail. We cannot afford to delay infrastructure."

FERC received comments on its recent technical conference on co-located load in which parties offered suggestions for how the commission should move forward in dealing with the emerging issue.

"Deep, collaborative partnerships combined with creative problem-solving are the only way we can meet the explosion of AI growth, as well as society's accelerating electricity demand," said Sheldon Kimber, CEO of Intersect Power.

FERC approved fines on Sonoran West Solar Holdings for submitting misleading initial state of charge values that led to undue bid cost recovery payments.

FERC's Office of Enforcement and PSE&G reached an agreement imposing a $6.6 million penalty on the utility over allegations it provided PJM with inaccurate information about the condition of a transmission line in New Jersey.

FERC rejected proposals from PJM and its transmission owners that would have changed regional planning, by moving those rules to the tariff from the operating agreement, while also giving transmission owners more authority over the process.

Former FERC commissioners discussed Order 1920-A and its accommodations to states, which could complicate compliance processes but also lead to more support for expanding the grid.
