New York launched a renewable energy solicitation enlisting multiple agencies to expedite the process and get as many projects as possible approved while they still can qualify for federal tax credits.

MISO’s generator interconnection queue has fallen to 215 GW as developers cut back on projects in response to the federal phaseout of renewable energy tax incentives, RTO leadership said.

SPP says it has cleared its backlog of generator interconnection requests that date back to 2018, paving the way for a transition to its “first-in-the-country” Consolidated Planning Process.

MISO has assembled the 10 generation finalists to enter its first interconnection queue fast track. The list includes five natural gas proposals, three solar farms, one wind farm and a battery storage facility.

Two new data sets show the industry has started to cut back on record high interconnection queue levels from last year as reforms have started to take hold.

MISO announced that its first interconnection queue express lane application window turned up 47 projects at a little more than 26.5 GW of proposed new capacity, with natural gas generation accounting for about 20 GW.

Mark Christie announced he was stepping down as chair of FERC effective at close of business Aug. 8, and filed one last dissent the previous day.

BPA’s proposed changes to its grid access process have prompted questions about how new readiness criteria will affect established industry practices and financing of new projects.

MISO expects to exceed its quarterly project maximum when it begins accepting the first generation project proposals under its interconnection queue express lane.

FERC approved a controversial MISO proposal to create a fast lane for certain reliability-related projects in the RTO’s interconnection queue — just two months after rebuffing an earlier version of the plan.
