The longstanding links between U.S. and Canadian electricity grid operators won’t be easily fractured by the  tariff-driven political rift between D.C., and Ottawa, industry participants on both sides of the border say.

The U.S. is facing an unprecedented wave of demand growth. Competition between states and FERC is not the answer. Cooperation is, says Nick Myers of the Arizona Corporation Commission.

State regulators say the push to give FERC jurisdiction over large load interconnections could leave the agency biting off more than it can chew around complex state-run processes, while failing to accomplish the intended goal of speeding approvals of hyperscale data centers.

A new report from the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners offers state regulators an extensive set of recommendations intended to address risks stemming from the ever evolving interdependence of the natural gas and electric sectors in the U.S.

The National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners passed a resolution urging FERC to resist the Department of Energy’s push to give itself jurisdiction over large loads interconnecting with the grid.

To ensure a cost-effective energy transition, stakeholders must approach transmission planning holistically and avoid piecemeal investments, panelists argued during the NARUC Annual Meeting.

Clean energy experts at this year’s NARUC Annual Meeting expressed confidence in the U.S.’ progress toward decarbonizing the grid. But some also wonder about potential cuts to Inflation Reduction Act funding.

The power industry should encourage increased collaboration and transparency to address the many challenges posed by major new loads, presenters said during NARUC's 2024 Annual Meeting.

FERC and a group of regulators from 10 states began discussing gas-electric coordination at the first meeting of the new Federal-State Current Issues Collaborative.
