NYISO informed the Interconnection Issues Task Force of its intention to no longer accept interconnection requests for its transitional cluster study after April 4.

MISO plans to revise its rules around commercial operation dates to allow interconnection customers to begin operating about a decade after they first enter the queue.

NYISO CEO Rich Dewey highlighted efficiency improvements and the challenges of the continued electrification at the Jan. 31 MC meeting.

MISO confirmed it likely will try again with FERC in the third quarter to apply an annual megawatt cap to its interconnection queue.

FERC granted NYISO a waiver allowing a temporary suspension of tariff rules for its interconnection study processes to assist developers and facilitate a smoother transition to the procedures prescribed by Order 2023.

PJM has begun working its way through 308 projects in its transitional generation interconnection queue, advancing it a step toward implementation of a clustered method of studying network upgrades.

FERC didn’t completely buy into MISO’s package of stricter rules to lighten its gridlocked interconnection queue, rejecting the RTO’s proposed annual megawatt cap on project submittals.

ISO-NE has proposed several deviations from the specific approach detailed in Order 2023, including a 270-day cluster study timeline instead of FERC’s 150-day timeline.

SPP chalked up numerous successes during 2023 without the effects of a global pandemic or severe winter storms.

Several MISO stakeholders took exception to the RTO’s proposal before FERC to cap the volume of interconnection requests it accepts annually.
