Offshore wind advocates are calling for changes to RTO transmission planning and cost allocation rules to reduce costs and development risks.

NextEra Energy’s recent acquisition of GridLiance gives the company a greater voice in RTOs, CFO Rebecca Kujawa said during an earnings call.

ERCOT staff promised to reduce price corrections before asking the Board of Directors to approve a pair of them for two unrelated events.

SPP stakeholders endorsed a 10-year transmission plan that will likely continue to underestimate wind energy development.

TOs, regulators and stakeholders face a massive task in planning for new transmission as they prepare for an influx of renewable resources.

NESCOE called on ISO-NE to increase its transparency and the role of states, saying the current structure is incompatible with their clean energy efforts.

The New York PSC designated NYPA’s Northern New York transmission line as a high priority, allowing it to bypass NYISO’s public policy planning process.

MISO and SPP state regulators appear intent on completing their work to improve their interregional coordination before 2021 arrives.

FERC reversed course and said MISO, SPP and PJM don’t have to rely on eachother’s dispatch assumptions to carry out an affected-system study.

A discussion at the AWEA Offshore Windpower Virtual Summit reinforced the argument for a planned transmission network for offshore wind.
