Americans for a Clean Energy Grid gave MISO and CAISO top grades for regional transmission planning and development; PJM and ISO-NE scored poorly.

The state's Board of Public Utilities  approved an additional expenses for the state’s $1.07 billion transmission project to connect offshore wind farms to the grid.

Stakeholders asked for cost containment measures for MISO's and SPP’s Joint Targeted Interconnection Queue portfolio after the RTOs said the cost estimate for the projects nearly doubled.

An ACORE report found billions of dollars that PJM's queue reforms could unlock in the next few years, but added that proactive transmission planning could lead to even more renewables and their associated benefits being added to the grid.

The clean energy organizer for the Alliance for Affordable Energy said there’s a lack of accessibility within MISO for individual ratepayers to make their opinions heard on grid decisions that affect them.

The PSC has called on NYISO to open its next PPTN with the goal of getting 6,000 MW of new transmission facilities in Long Island to facilitate the export of future offshore wind resources.

FERC rejected PG&E's proposed transmission-to-transmission interconnection agreement, which generated strong opposition.

Developers held a ceremonial groundbreaking for the TransWest Express line, intended to carry 3 GW of wind power from Wyoming to California.

MISO appears set on restricting the interconnection requests it will accept and will present a straw proposal at the July 19 Planning Advisory Committee meeting.
