FERC dismissed a second request from Linden VFT to rehear its order denying reconsideration of cost allocations for PJM cross-seams projects with MISO.

MISO and SPP are making earnest efforts to coordinate transmission development along their shared seam, according to speakers at MARC.

FERC rejected a set of rehearing requests contesting the cost allocations for several cross-seams projects between PJM and MISO.

PJM Planning Committee Chairman Ken Seiler said the new executive director of systems operations, Dave Souder, will replace him as committee chair in July.

PJM’s Planning Committee endorsed capacity generation rule changes for Manual 21, save the controversial effective load-carrying capability calculations.

Stakeholders gave MISO leadership mixed signals on what they expect from seams policy, though they agreed the RTO shouldn’t strive for exacting consistency in how it deals with different neighbors.

MISO had its revised cost allocation proposal for the RTO’s targeted market efficiency projects with PJM approved by FERC.

MISO and SPP could jointly create a smaller category of interregional transmission projects as early as next year to address costly congestion.

The Planning Committee endorsed PJM’s annual reserve requirement study and recommendations for a 15.7% IRM for next year’s Base Residual Auction.

The current ERCOT market design “will support more than sufficient reserve margins,” according to a draft report the grid operator filed with the Texas PUC.
