FERC Order 1920's scenario based planning could help the industry get transmission planning right amidst a very uncertain future, experts said at EBA's Annual Meeting.

The results of NYISO’s 2024 transitional cluster deliverability study show that more than $1.1 billion of high-voltage transmission upgrades would be required to accommodate 48 projects in the batch of generation projects.

FERC accepted SPP's tariff revisions that establish subregions for the cost allocation of future byway projects under its highway/byway methodology.

SPP state regulators have approved several motions related to FERC Order 1920’s mandate for long-term, scenario-based planning to ensure the system can meet future needs and be fairly compensated.

SPP's Markets and Operations Policy Committee has endorsed the last of 21 recommendations made by a task force that reviewed the RTO's transmission and market operations last decade.

FERC accepted SPP tariff revisions that will allow certain transmission facilities’ costs to be entirely allocated on a regional postage-stamp and cost-by-cost basis.

FERC commissioners urged SPP to conduct a stakeholder process to vet a proposal to socialize “byway” transmission on a case-by-case basis.
