MISO is evaluating nine projects to supplement or substitute for the contract path on SPP transmission linking its Midwest and South regions.

SPP asked MOPC members to provide their input on a proposal to consolidate the 16 stakeholder groups that report to the committee.

The NEPOOL Reliability and Transmission Committees jointly met to discuss a multitude of governing document changes and transmission upgrades.

MISO and SPP regulators are considering an analysis of the interregional planning process to supplement the seams coordination analysis already underway.

SPP’s Strategic Planning Committee debated the merits of deterministic versus probabilistic planning approaches during a review of transmission investment.

ISO-NE presented a new draft of the competitive transmission request for proposals template for stakeholder review at the Planning Advisory Committee.

MISO will still pursue major aspects of a transmission proposal that FERC rejected, but is debating keeping its proposed local economic project type.

MISO’s grid can withstand major reliability risks even when renewables reach 40% of the generation mix, the RTO's staff said.

NYISO locational-based marginal prices averaged $24.43/MWh in June, up slightly from $23.10/MWh in May, but down about 25% from the same month a year ago.

FERC approved changes to the MISO-SPP joint operating agreement intended to improve an interregional planning process that has yet to produce projects.
