By David Jwanier With PJM planners nearing a proposed fix for the Artificial Island stability problem, the issue of who will pay for the project took center...

The first project window for the 2019 PJM Regional Transmission Expansion Plan (RTEP) will open in about a month.

PJM's payments to frequently mitigated units jumped significantly over the winter, lending urgency to efforts to reduce “adder” payments.

FERC approved PJM’s plan for selecting transmission projects that can easily and cheaply resolve constraints in Locational Delivery Areas (LDAs).

PJM is close to naming a developer to fix the Artificial Island transmission stability problem, with LS Power’s proposal for an overhead crossing of the Delaware River holding on as the lowest-cost choice.

PJM Stakeholders are still considering revisions to black start compensation following the rejection of two proposals in March, but zones currently identified as deficient won’t be in jeopardy when generation retirements rise in spring 2015.

FERC rejected Consolidated Edison's attempt to avoid paying for a major transmission upgrade in northern New Jersey but suggested it might order PJM to recalculate the company’s bill.

PJM says it may have to spend $148 million on grid upgrades if the B.L. England Generating Station plant retirement is unable to proceed with its natural gas repowering plan.

State regulators and PJM transmission owners plan to meet to narrow their differences over rules for “multi-driver” transmission projects.

FERC Order 1000 is likely to be upheld by the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals based on comments from a three-judge panel during oral arguments last week.
