Electric transmission projects move too slowly, Maryland Public Service Commission Chairman Jason Stanek said at NARUC's Winter Policy Summit on Monday.

PJM and its IMM gave first reads of their proposals exploring whether generators should be permitted to recover upgrade costs for some critical facilities.

While fuel inventories fell during last month’s winter storm, PJM’s Brian Fitzpatrick told the Operating Committee that they are on track to recover.

MISO, its Monitor and members debated the best course to implementing ambient adjusted line ratings during a Sept. 15 Advisory Committee discussion.

PJM's OC received a cybersecurity update, endorsed a maximum emergency package and delayed a vote on a renewable dispatch proposal.

Commenters disagreed over FERC’s proposed transmission planning rules, sparring over its 20-year planning horizon and reinstatement of the federal ROFR.

PJM's Operating Committee heard proposals on improving the dispatch of renewables, changes to max emergency status and a new cold weather advisory.

PJM's Operating Committee advanced plans to ease the scheduling of network service and manual language for hybrid resources.

Transmission planners see an increasing role for grid-enhancing technologies but disagree over whether they will be transformative or limited.

In attempting to increase grid capacity and renewables, FERC's transmission NOPR is pushing the wrong set of technologies, contends columnist Steve Huntoon.
