FERC has accepted a compliance filing by ISO-NE and the New England transmission owners eliminating interconnection customers’ responsibility to pay for operations and maintenance costs on interconnection network upgrades.

A new analysis by ISO-NE shows about 9,600 MW of offshore wind may be able to connect to the New England transmission system without triggering the need for upgrades.

PJM has begun working its way through 308 projects in its transitional generation interconnection queue, advancing it a step toward implementation of a clustered method of studying network upgrades.

Transmission upgrades that are needed to avoid overloads in a fully electrified New England by 2050 could cumulatively cost between $22 billion and $26 billion, ISO-NE told its Planning Advisory Committee.

PJM responded to Ohio legislators' concerns about the cost impact of Illinois' climate policy, saying it could not split Ohio out of related transmission planning and pledging to work with lawmakers going forward.

A California Energy Commission workshop examined the difficulties of connecting vast quantities of clean energy resources to the bulk electric system by 2045.

The New Jersey BPU agreed to ask PJM to approve a plan for the state to undertake a second solicitation process under FERC’s State Agreement Approach.
