Members praised work done by PJM in the stakeholder process in the development of new rules for the interconnection process.

ISO-NE stakeholders approved tariff changes that incorporate a new transmission planning process focused beyond the RTO’s current 10-year planning horizon.

FERC upheld its July dismissal of a complaint by Hecate Energy that Central Hudson and NYISO delayed its 20-MW solar generation project in Greene County, N.Y.

MISO and SPP said a weak economic showing isn’t a dealbreaker to build transmission projects accommodating generation in their jammed interconnection queues.

MISO's interconnection queue currently stands at a record-breaking 153 GW after the RTO processed 2021 applicants. 

A cycle of generation projects in MISO’s Central planning region has accrued a whopping $2 billion in upgrades in order to connect to the transmission system. 

PJM stakeholders affirmed OA language from the RTO’s mitigation proposal endorsed in February to avoid critical infrastructure projects.

FERC voted to reconsider its rules on transmission planning, cost allocation and generator interconnection, acknowledging the failures of  Order 1000.

MISO said it will probably use its existing affected system study as a model to study interconnecting DER aggregations under FERC Order 2222. 

MISO and SPP are asking for stakeholder ideas on how they can cost share joint transmission projects that allow new generator interconnections.
