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.

FERC Commissioner Judy Chang emphasized the importance of demand response, long-term transmission planning and gas-electric coordination in her address to the NEPOOL Participants Committee meeting.

FERC approved Order 1920-A, addressing rehearing arguments from the previous order by granting states more guarantees that their views on cost allocation would be considered, among other changes.
