The MISO Planning Advisory Committee will vote on a DTE Energy proposal to broaden the scope of the RTO’s storage-as-transmission assets initiative.

The spring joint meeting of the Committee on Regional Electric Power Cooperation and the Western Interconnection Regional Advisory Body focused on grid reliability and protecting crucial infrastructure.

The NERC Standards Committee unanimously approved the opening of a 45-day comment period on revised inverter rules in reliability standard PRC-024.

FERC issued deficiency letters to all six jurisdictional RTOs and ISOs over their proposed energy storage rules, pressing for definitions, tariff citations and other details.

Old and new will interconnect if Michigan Tech can pull off an energy storage concept that pairs the state’s abandoned mines with pumped storage.

The Department of Energy will collaborate with PJM to develop standards aimed at improving the integration of distributed energy resources onto the grid.

MISO must flesh out more details around its already lengthy proposal for allowing energy storage resources to participate in its markets, FERC said.

ERCOT's Technical Advisory Committee tabled a request to lower the grid operator’s peaker net margin threshold pending further direction from the Texas PUC.

MISO's Steering Committee instructed the Planning Advisory Committee to revisit non-transmission owners operating storage-as-transmission assets.

Assistant Energy Secretary Bruce Walker said the Department of Energy is planning a megawatt-scale “Storage Launchpad” that he predicted will cut the cost of energy storage dramatically.
