PJM stakeholders struck a compromise on language that would expand upon how the RTO includes projects in its Regional Transmission Expansion Plan.

Tension among PJM sectors boiled over after members once again deferred a vote on proposed manual revisions regarding supplemental transmission projects.

LS Power asked FERC to compel MISO to lower the threshold for competitively bid market efficiency projects from 345 kV to 100 kV.

FERC granted LS Power Grid New York’s request for an abandoned plant incentive for a transmission project approved by NYISO.

PJM riled stakeholders when it rejected manual language approved by more than two-thirds of members on transmission owners’ end-of-life projects.

Federal courts rejected two challenges involving FERC Order 1000: one to Minnesota's ROFR law, and another to MISO's interregional cost allocation.

The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals backed FERC in its revised interpretation of a PJM Tariff provision governing responsibility for transmission upgrades.

PJM stakeholders resoundingly endorsed LS Power’s controversial proposal to bring cost containment measures into the RTO’s transmission planning process.

LS Power’s cost-containment proposal remains largely intact and on schedule to return for a vote at the PJM MRC.

The U.S. Justice Department said that a Minnesota law granting in-state transmission owners rights of first refusal on grid additions is unconstitutional.
