A Rochester-area farm family scored unusual concessions when New York regulators approved a plan for a substation and transmission lines that removed previously approved facilities from their property.

PJM and NYISO officials said that an analysis indicates a reduced version of the current pattern is the best resolution when the Con Ed-PSEG ‘wheel’ ends.

PJM is seeking stakeholder feedback as it considers a redesign of the Transmission Expansion Advisory Committee. 

Speaking at IPPNY’s fall conference, New York Transco President Stuart Nachmias said the state's ambitious transmission development plan will not be implemented quickly.

The PJM Planning Committee held a special session to begin soliciting stakeholder input on changes to the RTO’s selection process for Order 1000 projects.

MISO and SPP are moving ahead on a joint transmission study focusing on seven projects, staff told stakeholders at a Interregional Planning Stakeholder Advisory Committee meeting.

A task force developing cost allocation rules for Southwest Power Pool (SPP) seams projects identified outside the FERC Order 1000 interregional process agreed to take another crack at crafting language more agreeable to stakeholders and staff.

The two newest SPP stakeholder groups are taking a look at the future, while also stepping almost a decade into the past to resolve the sticky issue of Tariff Attachment Z2.

The Clean Power Plan poses no threat to reliability in PJM, but compliance costs are highly sensitive to gas prices and whether states go it alone or combine efforts with a regional approach, according to a study released by the RTO.

FERC ordered PJM transmission owners to change how they plan supplemental projects and separately OKd a proposal to exempt low-voltage reliability upgrades from competition.
