FERC has become too politicized and should use its independent authority to move the electricity industry forward, two former commission chairs said.

FERC has accepted a pair of SPP tariff revisions related to generator interconnection procedures and transmission planning.

FERC OK'd PJM's proposal to speed up its interconnection queue by handling requests through a new clustered approach that prioritizes ready-to-build projects.

FERC proposed new rules it said would clear clogged interconnection queues and provide more certainty on upgrade costs while encouraging new technologies.

FERC accepted Tri-State G&T’s Tariff modifications to its large generator and small generation interconnection procedures and its proposed queue reform.

FERC authorized the installation of a new general partner and transfer of ownership interests in the IFF that acquired EPE earlier this year.

MISO officials, stakeholders and academics discussed the challenges of operating a grid with increasing renewables and uncertainty.

FERC said MISO’s Tariff was silent on the issue of whether a generation project can switch from wind to solar while in the RTO’s interconnection queue.

PJM's Planning Committee endorsed the use of a 13-year load model with data from 2002-2014 for the 2020 reserve requirement study.

PJM stakeholders unanimously elected a slate of five new members to serve one-year terms as part of the Nominating Committee.
