ERCOT proposed revisions to its large load interconnection process just days after a new rule established more rigorous criteria for connecting data centers, bitcoin miners and other power-hungry facilities to the grid.

Holistic reform to interconnection barriers is essential to meeting rapidly growing power demand across the country, experts said at a recent webinar.

Energy Secretary Chris Wright directed FERC to start a rulemaking that will consider it claiming jurisdiction over the interconnection of large loads to speed up the buildout of AI data centers and reshored manufacturing.

FERC accepted ISO-NE’s compliance proposal for Order 2023, setting the stage for sweeping changes to the RTO’s interconnection procedures.

The transmission companies behind a major project to preemptively build two offshore wind interconnection points in New England have submitted their first FERC filings for the project.

The U.S. Department of Energy announced almost $2 billion in new funding from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act aimed at improving grid reliability and resilience.

Different industry stakeholders have estimated it may take five to 10 years for FERC Order 1920 to have any major impacts on transmission planning.

The suspension of ISO-NE's Order 2023 implementation due to FERC's inaction has caused uncertainty and stress for some clean energy developers in New England.

The Rhode Island Energy Facilities Siting Board ruled it has jurisdiction over large battery storage projects, overruling precedent.
