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...

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

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 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.

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.

PJM will conduct training April 17 for transmission developers who want to submit proposals in the RTO’s second “market efficiency” window in November.

PJM told FERC that it should reject an attempt by Consolidated Edison Co. to avoid paying for more than half of a $1.2 billion transmission upgrade to address a short circuit problem in the PSE&G transmission zone.

The solution to the Artificial Island transmission stability problem may be more costly than originally estimated, PJM officials said last week.

The review of proposed solutions to the Artificial Island transmission stability problem is taking PJM longer than expected and the selection of the winner could be months away.
