Columnist Steve Huntoon is disillusioned by FERC's retreat from Order 1000's requirements for competition in transmission.

PJM consumer advocates and transmission owners appear headed for a showdown over a proposed review of the RTO’s use of designated entity agreements.

Industrial energy users and other ratepayers are balking at FERC’s proposal to abandon Order 1000’s competition measures.

The first meeting of the Mid-America Regulatory Conference in two years focused on transmission needs that are necessary for a fast-changing energy landscape.

SPP has filed a request with FERC that the commission take immediate action in a dispute between the RTO and AECI over charges from the February 2021 storm.

SPP’s Board of Directors approved the RTO’s fourth competitive transmission project, awarding a $55 million, 345-kV facility to NextEra Energy Transmission.

FERC proposed changing transmission planning and cost allocation processes to help build out the grid in response to electrification and renewables.

FERC approved the SAA sought by the New Jersey BPU and PJM that gives them greenlight to build transmission to deliver 7.5 GW of planned offshore wind.

The key to minimizing the impact of running transmission lines from N.J.’s offshore wind projects to the onshore grid will be collaboration between developers.

Eighty transmission proposals to interconnect New Jersey's offshore wind to PJM were submitted by 13 companies to the state's Board of Public Utilities.
