MISO members are mulling an advisory vote on whether to support the RTO’s $21.8 billion long-range transmission plan portfolio while tensions simmer over the necessity of the expansion.

Newly minted American Electric Power CEO Bill Fehrman is promising to “embrace large load opportunities,” leverage its expertise in 765-kV transmission and deliver more positive regulatory outcomes.

Change is coming to FERC after Tuesday's election, but the policies the agency oversees are rarely top of mind during campaigns, so it is unclear how much will be different.

MISO said unless stakeholders can come up with an alternative it hasn’t explored, it will have to renew its sole system support resource — Manitowoc Public Utilities’ Lakefront 9 coal unit — for another year.

SPP’s Board of Directors has approved the RTO’s 2025 operating and capital budgets and its net revenue requirement following a unanimous endorsement by the Members Committee.

A common refrain at FERC’s technical conference on the co-location of data centers was that the issue is just part the broader problem of resource adequacy.

SPP’s Board of Directors approved the grid operator’s “historic” $7.65 billion package of transmission projects, but delayed a decision on a need date for two of the projects after stakeholders pushed back on staff’s staging recommendations.

Exelon CEO Calvin Butler told investors the utility's data center forecast has increased about 80% during an earnings call.

FERC Commissioner David Rosner talked about his hope for more consensus on rehearing for Order 1920, and a panel of experts discussed supply chain issues at the WIRES fall meeting.
