FERC approved a follow-up filing for ISO-NE’s compliance with Orders 2023 and 2023-A, authorizing variations from the final rule related to interconnection point modifications, cost allocation, and commercial readiness deposits.

Two new data sets show the industry has started to cut back on record high interconnection queue levels from last year as reforms have started to take hold.

ISO-NE’s regional network service rate is set to decrease by about 1% in 2026, dropping from $185.28/kW-year in 2025 to $183.71/kW-year in 2026.

The current state of transmission policy was examined at an Infocast conference that went into the possibility for a permitting bill and looked at the implementation of recent FERC orders.

FERC told MISO it needs a few more edits to its queue rules to be compliant with the commission’s wide-ranging order to streamline generator interconnection.

FERC accepted SPP’s compliance with Orders Nos. 2023 and 2023-A in part and directed the RTO to submit a further filing within 60 days of the order.

Former FERC Chair Willie Phillips, now a partner with Holland & Knight, says his old agency is in good hands with its current membership.

The NEPOOL Participants Committee voted to support an expedited filing adjusting several key dates in ISO-NE’s compliance proposal for FERC Order 2023.
