SPP and MISO plan to apply for grants from the Department of Energy to help fund five transmission projects recently identified in their JTIQ work.

Roger Clayton of the NYSRC told stakeholders that the council is developing interconnection reliability rules for inverter-based resources.

FERC granted a waiver to several renewable energy projects that allows their developers to circumvent MISO’s fee distribution.

MISO made several maneuvers in 2022 to position itself for a majority-renewable portfolio while attempting to take the sting out of a rising capacity deficit.

NYISO officials said Wednesday they will begin stakeholder discussions early next year on revising the interconnection process to make it more efficient.

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 approved Vistra’s request to bypass MISO’s generator interconnection procedures to quickly add battery storage projects at two retiring fossil fuel plants.

NYISO proposed narrowing the system reliability impact study scopes for 35 generation projects in the queue in order to expedite the interconnection process.

Stakeholders and regulators concerned about extreme weather and clogged interconnection queues are also encouraged by FERC’s proposed rulemakings on the issues.

CAISO's Board of Governors approved additional interconnection enhancements to deal with the long queue of resources waiting to connect to its grid.
