Transmission owners defended PJM’s, ISO-NE’s and SPP’s immediate-need reliability projects while states said they are frustrating FERC Order 1000’s intent.

FERC partially accepted SPP’s compliance filing to Orders 845 and 845-A, directing the RTO to submit further changes.

FERC declined to rehear its order directing PJM to allow two merchant transmission operators to convert some transmission withdrawal rights to non-firm.

ISO-NE is incorporating stakeholder comments and questions from last month's PAC meeting as it works to complete its 2019 Economic Study in stages.

FERC said its revised interpretation of accounting rules supports a rehearing request from developers of the abandoned PATH transmission project.

Transmission buildout costs in MISO West under the 2020 expansion plan will look much the same as last year’s, RTO officials said.

Fresh off the approval of their first interregional transmission project, MISO and PJM are now contemplating a new study this year.

PJM objects to a Tariff attachment before FERC that would create a new confidential process to mitigate critical infrastructure on NERC’s CIP-014-2 list.

MISO’s industrial and transmission customers have banded together for a complaint against the cost allocation plan for baseline reliability projects.

Former FERC chairs celebrated two decades of RTOs with a call on legislation to increase interregional transmission and price carbon emissions into markets.
