Congress needs to disallow states from vetoing Clean Water Act permits for interstate natural gas pipelines, FERC Chair Laura Swett said at an energy conference.

Police and FBI investigators are trying to determine the motivation of a man who died during an apparent attempt to damage an electric substation in Nevada.

Stakeholders mostly said the recommendations to update NERC's standards development process represented a good start but needed further development to ensure a fair process.

The U.S. Department of Energy has canceled a pending $1.8 billion loan guarantee to Arizona Public Service that was intended to help finance transmission, renewable energy and storage projects.

The NYISO Transmission Planning Advisory Subcommittee discussed stakeholder comments on possible improvements to the cluster study process and the system deliverability test process.

MISO will study 6 GW of mostly natural gas-fired generation projects in the second group of entrants under its interconnection queue fast track.

FERC ruled that MISO must name a point in development and describe how it would consider merchant HVDC lines in its transmission planning.

The fate of a 6.2-GW cluster of solar energy projects in western Nevada is uncertain following the Bureau of Land Management’s decision to break the group into individual projects for review.

Ameren Illinois remains adamant that it should have exclusive access to construct nearly $2 billion of MISO regional transmission projects in the state without competition.

MISO has assembled the 10 generation finalists to enter its first interconnection queue fast track. The list includes five natural gas proposals, three solar farms, one wind farm and a battery storage facility.
