ISO-NE nixed a request for proposals for the Keene Road market efficiency transmission upgrade because it would be prohibitively expensive.

PJM CEO Andy Ott and SPP CEO Nick Brown said that FERC Order 1000 is causing headaches while doing little to encourage transmission development.

MISO spent $1.3 million to evaluate construction bids in its first competitive transmission process, funded by the 11 developers that submitted proposals.

Preliminary results of the MISO and SPP '16 coordinated system study are in, and the RTOs say one project has potential, but it fails MISO’s cost threshold.

The futures assumptions for the MISO 2017 Transmission Expansion Plan (MTEP) are finalized, with the RTO granting its South region a different future weighting.

PJM's response to the delay of a transmission line to maintain reliability near Jamestown, Va., may lead to increased costs to ratepayers.

Electric infrastructure projects are often stymied by federal regulatory reviews that seem to drag on forever, witnesses told a U.S. Senate committee.

The odds of SPP and MISO conducting a second joint study dropped as the RTOs’ reviews are not lining up. Plus the Z2 Task Force is narrowing alternatives.

The Supreme Court said it would not hear a challenge to FERC Order 1000, which ended the federal right of first refusal in transmission construction.

PJM officials reaffirmed their selection of LS Power for the stability fix at Artificial Island, rejecting a rival plan from PSE&G.
