A collective of consumer groups has invoked a recent letter from the U.S. Department of Justice in an attempt to get FERC to act on its three-year-old complaint against MISO deferring to state right of first refusal laws in regional planning.

An alliance of consumer groups asked FERC to address its 2022 joint complaint against MISO’s practice of deferring to state rights of first refusal laws in its regional transmission planning.

Permitting provisions in the recent debt deal weaken the "momentum" for increased FERC transmission siting authority, says former FERC Chair Richard Glick.

The Joint Federal-State Task Force on Electric Transmission convened during NARUC’s meeting to talk local project review and best practices on cost management.
