MISO will this year draw on three sets of contributors to create its load forecast for 2020 transmission planning.

MISO said it will explore whether to alter its long-term planning models to factor in expectations for an increased number of outages.

Vineyard Wind announced it has partnered with Anbaric Development Partners in proposing 1,200 MWs of offshore wind in response to a NYSERDA solicitation.

FERC approved PJM’s revisions to its market efficiency planning rules, despite protests from developers that the changes will underestimate needs and costs.

Load interests minced no words in a letter to PJM’s Board of Managers for rebuffing revisions they say would increase transparency on supplemental projects.

PJM unanimously approved a problem statement to consider granting merchant transmission developers capacity interconnection rights for offshore wind.

FERC approved NYISO’s proposed Tariff revisions “to clarify, streamline and enhance” its public policy transmission planning process.

The PUCT issued preliminary certificates of convenience and necessity for transmission that will integrate some of LP&L’s SPP load into the ERCOT system.

MISO and SPP told stakeholders that there is “more support than not” for the RTOs to conduct a joint study of interregional transmission projects in 2019.

SPP continued its effort to modernize its cost-recovery processes last week, agreeing to replace its broad single rate schedule with four targeted ones.
