Representatives from utilities, RTOs and technology vendors gathered at FERC headquarters for a workshop to discuss the role of grid-enhancing technologies.

Grid operators and generators need more granular, real-time data to respond to grid oscillation events, engineers on a NERC panel said.

SPP General Counsel Paul Suskie laid out the implications of FERC’s reversal of a waiver it had previously issued to the RTO on Tariff Attachment Z2.

Risk-averse engineers and outdated utility ratemaking structures are preventing quicker deployment of innovative technologies.
