The Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) called for Sempra Energy to prove it’s financially fit to own Oncor, the state's largest utility.

The Organization of MISO States failed to reach consensus on MISO’s cost allocation plans for smaller transmission projects that produce broader benefits.

FERC ordered FPA Section 206 proceedings for five SPP TOs seeking to develop projects under the RTO’s Order 1000 competitive solicitation process.

FERC said it will let MISO and SPP work with their stakeholders to determine whether they should require refund commitments from nonpublic utility members.

SPP stakeholders narrowly rejected a Tariff change that would have established a 1-MW threshold for reporting behind-the-meter network load.

SPP and Mountain West Transmission Group representatives worked hard to allay concerns of Colorado regulators who fear they could lose some authority.

SPP said it will join the ISO/RTO Council’s filing against the Department of Energy’s Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to support struggling coal and nuclear.

RTO officials and their Market Monitors unilaterally rejected Energy Secretary Rick Perry’s proposal to provide price supports to coal and nuclear plants.

FERC again ordered SPP to rewrite its rules on auction revenue rights (ARRs) and long-term congestion rights (LTCRs).

SPP staff agreed to bring stakeholders a strawman proposal addressing concerns over the RTO’s transmission planning policy for energy-only resources.
