Five state public service commissions have banded together to request that FERC order a recasting of MISO’s long-range transmission projects, arguing the projects aren’t as beneficial as MISO has advertised.

FERC affirmed the ability of an independent transmission developer to include an RTO adder in its CAISO formula rate, rebuffing a request by the California Public Utilities Commission to reject the company’s use of the incentive.

Ameren Illinois argued to FERC that it should have dibs on sections of two competitive long-range transmission projects worth almost $2 billion from MISO’s second portfolio, claiming Illinois’ “first in the field” doctrine is tantamount to a right of first refusal law.

MISO issued a slew of warning notices and operating instructions — especially in the South region — to help deal with oppressive July heat, forced generation outages and strained transmission.

PJM's Markets and Reliability Committee endorsed by acclamation an issue charge by Constellation Energy focused on how storage as a transmission asset could be implemented in the RTO.

NYISO provided a glimpse into the possible capacity accreditation factors for gas generator units that have not guaranteed a supply of fuel for the winter capability period.

The California PUC partially approved a new rule that will make it easier for AI data centers and other large customers such as EV charging stations to complete transmission connection projects in PG&E's territory.

Customers of the Bonneville Power Administration will see power rates increase by about 8-9% over the next three years while transmission rates will jump by an average of nearly 20%, the agency said.
