Participants at FERC’s workshop on performance-based ratemaking approaches support GETs, but they disagree on how best to foster their adoption.

Advocates of grid-enhancing technologies said “shared savings” is needed to persuade utilities to adopt low-cost investments to free up crucial transmission.

R Street Institute's Devin Hartman discusses anti-competitive flaws in RTO transmission policy and ways to level the playing field to encourage innovation.

The Efficient Grid Interconnection Act would require FERC to revise rules on cost allocation and push RTOs and ISOs to consider grid-enhancing technologies.

In his annual State of the Market report, MISO’s Monitor said transmission congestion and heightened ramping needs continue to dog the RTO.

MISO execs say long-term transmission and a capacity market redesign are a must in response to rising climate risks and fleet change.

Without any financial incentives from the federal level, utilities are unlikely to make the huge investments needed to deploy grid-enhancing technologies.
