A lack of interregional transmission projects is stymying the growth of renewable resources in SPP, MISO & PJM, according to a new report released by ACORE.

Clean energy advocates are contesting MISO’s request for another extension to comply with FERC Order 841.

FERC granted MISO permission to embed the production costs of providing spinning reserves in its market prices.

FERC conditionally approved NextEra Energy Transmission’s $660 million purchase of GridLiance transmission operations in MISO, SPP and CAISO.

FERC cited the filed rate doctrine on retroactive ratemaking to reject a pair of SPP requests for waivers to resettle billing errors.

COVID-19 and record hurricane and wildfire seasons made 2020 “a unique and at times challenging year,” FERC said in its State of the Markets report.

MISO unveiled a first look at possible long-range transmission projects, igniting testy exchanges between stakeholders over the necessity of grid expansion.

Stakeholders told FERC that the proposed Southeast Energy Exchange Market (SEEM) doesn’t go far enough to increase competition.

SPP raked in another $27.87 million in market-to-market settlements from MISO during December and January, pushing its total to $168.11 million.

While it warns of more system risk in the coming years, MISO is preparing for an unremarkable spring and a routine capacity auction.
