ISO-NE’s initial review of proposals submitted for a first-of-its-kind transmission procurement indicates four of the six proposals do not meet the technical requirements and are not eligible for selection.

A new group formed to represent electric ratepayer interests has raised questions about interactions between MISO’s Independent Market Monitor and the state regulatory agencies seeking to overturn the RTO’s $22 billion long-range transmission portfolio through a FERC complaint.

FERC rejected a complaint from the PJM Independent Market Monitor asking it to determine the RTO holds the authority to deny transmission service for large loads that cannot be reliably served/

While domestic grid planning’s regional nature offers different policy examples, countries around the world offer even more diverse examples that could inform domestic transmission policy, experts said at an Americans for a Clean Energy Grid webinar.

CAISO’s Department of Market Monitoring urged the ISO to replace its interim congestion revenue allocation rules under its forthcoming Extended Day-Ahead Market “as soon as practicable.”

The return of demand growth is something new in the electricity industry, especially as it is being driven by individual consumers whose load can exceed the peak demand of a small state, and it is giving new life to an old argument in state legislatures: restructuring the industry.

Puget Sound Energy and Avista told the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission they have taken steps to build clean energy resources quickly to qualify for expiring federal tax credits, while voicing concern that limited transmission capacity and the state’s greenhouse gas targets pose challenges.

FERC denied a complaint from RWE Clean Energy arguing PJM incorrectly identified network upgrades for a 125-MW solar and storage project.

With electricity demand spiking, Congress should take major steps to speed up the process of building new transmission infrastructure, writes Will Hazelip.

Ruling on a series of complaints dating back to 2011, FERC ordered a reduction in the return on equity for the New England transmission owners, cutting the rate from 10.57% to 9.57%.
