FERC approved a slate of penalties against an electric utility, an RTO and a government agency for violations of NERC reliability standards.
FERC denied PJM’s rehearing request of its rejected FTR credit requirement calculation, but it said it would address the RTO’s arguments in a future order.
SPP’s Board of Directors approved the RTO’s fourth competitive transmission project, awarding a $55 million, 345-kV facility to NextEra Energy Transmission.
FERC rejected a transmission owner self-funding option for HVDC projects in a decision that could save millions for developers like SOO Green.
Faced with a capacity supply shortage in 2022/23, MISO is considering broadening its generator retirement studies to consider resource adequacy.
PJM stakeholders overwhelmingly endorsed the RTO’s proposal for a new interconnection queue process after several hours of debate.
FERC and NERC continue to gather information from utilities, generators and grid operators on maintaining electric reliability during severe cold weather.
Cost allocation negotiations for the second half of MISO’s long-range transmission planning heated up over whether generators should bear a portion of costs.
FERC’s transmission planning NOPR has won wide praise, but the consensus proposal also represented a retreat on efforts to open development to competition.
Massachusetts broke from NESCOE's stance on the elimination of ISO-NE's MOPR, saying the rule should be disposed of as soon as possible, without any delay.
