To increase its energy supplies, PJM proposes expanding its process for allowing new resources to inject onto the grid while their required network upgrades are being completed, allowing a unit to operate partially.

CREPC TC, in collaboration with Energy Strategies, issued its first transmission cost allocation study to provide the Western electricity industry with guidelines on how to tackle the thorny issue.

SPP approved its seventh competitive project under FERC Order 1000, a 19-mile, 115-kV new transmission line with an estimated cost of $45.5 million in the Texas-New Mexico area.

SPP’s Board of Directors agreed to defer action on a 765-kV transmission project with a ballooning cost estimate and staff’s large load integration policy, both the source of much stakeholder discussion.

FERC approved an SPP tariff change that allows interconnection customers without a pending request to ask for interim service when the study cluster’s window is closed.

MISO asked FERC for a month to prepare a defense of its second long-range transmission portfolio, which is being challenged by five state commissions in the footprint.

SPP’s Board of Directors has approved a tariff change establishing an integrated, three-year transmission planning cycle that represents a “first-in-the-country” mechanism.

MISO and SPP appear undaunted in their pursuit of a beneficial interregional project after FERC’s rejection of exemptions to their joint study rules.

The pace of load growth has picked up across Eversource Energy’s service territories in the Northeast, the company said during its second-quarter earnings call.

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.
