FERC Commissioner Allison Clements said addressing transmission planning issues will be a key component of cutting down interconnection backlogs.

A growing chorus of stakeholders is hoping to see a final transmission planning rule from FERC sometime in the New Year, with a set of letters sent to the commission.

ISO-NE outlined how FERC’s time extension for Order 2023 compliance will impact its proposal at a meeting of the NEPOOL Transmission Committee.

Stakeholders are concerned over NYISO’s proposed seven-day decision window and cash deposit requirements for interconnection applicants.

Advanced Energy United advocated for ISO-NE to exceed Order 2023's required changes in addressing its interconnection's high costs and long delays.

A Department of Energy draft report focuses on limiting speculative projects to increase system reliability and reduce cost uncertainty.

FERC extended the compliance deadline for its interconnection queue rulemaking by four months, to April 3, 2024.

NYISO will ask FERC to eliminate certain interconnection study processes and give queued projects more flexibility to proceed.

ISO-NE is pursuing an alternative compliance pathway on FERC Order 2023 regarding storage resource interconnection, hoping to sidestep the need for “control technology,” the RTO told the NEPOOL Transmission Committee.
