Solar has overtaken wind in the interconnection queues of MISO and SPP as declining PV costs make solar attractive even in wind belt states.

NYISO proposed to exempt most new ICAP suppliers from buyer-side market power mitigation evaluation if they use solar, wind, storage or demand response.

FERC denied a complaint by Hecate Energy that Central Hudson Gas and Electric and NYISO delayed its 20-MW solar generation project in Greene County, N.Y.

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine signed legislation empowering county governments to review and approve or deny all proposed utility-scale wind and solar projects.

Ex-FERC commissioner Tony Clark and PJM former general counsel contend that increasing renewable generation has brought the RTO model to a breaking point.

The U.S. and Canada signed an MOU on grid expansion collaboration and released a report promoting a massive buildout of transmission across North America.

The Efficient Grid Interconnection Act would require FERC to revise rules on cost allocation and push RTOs and ISOs to consider grid-enhancing technologies.

At EBA’s annual Northeast Chapter meeting state officials discussed present and future transmission planning needs to reach a carbon-free electric grid.

Calif. needs to increase the pace of transmission buildout to reach its 100% clean energy goals by 2045 & retain natural gas for reliability, advocates say.

Vermont energy officials will be looking at tradeoffs among policies and milestones for success for the state's next energy plan.
