Clean energy groups are calling for changes to ISO-NE’s surplus interconnection service rules to use capacity headroom and help some resources avoid lengthy cluster study processes.

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

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.
