A round-up of news from the PJM Planning Committee on June 11, 2015.

Transmission developer LS Power is protesting Order 1000 compliance filings by NYISO, SPP and ISO-NE, saying they still favor regulated incumbents over independent developers.

FERC completed its initial review of all interregional transmission planning compliance filings required under Order 1000 on Thursday.

SPP issued its first competitive transmission solicitation for construction of a 115-kV line between North Liberal and Walkemeyer in southwestern Kansas.

MISO on Wednesday got an earful of stakeholder suggestions about how to spur interregional transmission projects at the seams with PJM and SPP.

PJM planners have selected LS Power to build a new 230-kV transmission line from New Jersey’s Artificial Island to Delaware to address stability issues at the nuclear complex.

At its April 16 open meeting, FERC issued new reliability standards, denied rehearing on business practices and ordered a new format for electronic filing reports.

FERC accepted most of the second compliance filing for Order 1000 by NYISO and New York transmission owners while denying multiple requests for rehearing.

FERC rejected LS Power’s request for rehearing on SPP Order 1000 procedures and accepted the RTO’s December compliance filing.

More than a decade after the MISO-PJM seam was formed, no cross-border projects have been approved and built, NIPSCO said.
