Duke Energy is considering nuclear for its long-term plans, but it may take decades before the resource is being installed at scales similar to gas plants, solar or wind today.

The Northeast States Collaborative on Interregional Transmission released a strategic action plan for creating an interstate planning process for transmission projects that span the seams of their grid operators.

ACORE released a report arguing that transmission planners need to take advantage of advanced technologies and can do so as they implement FERC Order 1920.

ACP released a report produced by The Brattle Group laying out how organized markets can replicate the success CAISO and ERCOT have had in deploying energy storage resources.

A new Brattle report puts a spotlight on the Southeast as the only major U.S. region without thorough transmission planning and recommends it develop a portfolio of projects or risk failing to keep up with the times.

A study of SPP’s future energy and resource needs has found the grid operator will have to rely on thermal generation to maintain grid reliability into midcentury, but it will come at a cost.

Proponents of SPP’s Markets+ argued in their last “issue alert” that the day-ahead market option provides a robust footprint with “exceptional generation and load diversity” across the region while also claiming recent warnings about its seam with CAISO’s EDAM are overblown.
