Four companies vying for a contract to address stability problems at Artificial Island squared off in a tense TEAC meeting before an unexpected crowd.

MISO's Board of Directors approved MTEP 14, a $2.5 billion package of 369 transmission projects, including the 500-kV Great Northern Transmission Line.

PJM’s most recent competitive window for transmission projects attracted 63 proposals from 12 entities, the majority of them transmission owner upgrades.

PJM is reducing its load forecast for 2018 by 2.6%, due in part to a temporary change in modeling that aims to address over-forecasting in recent years.

Transmission upgrades of $20 million or more and all “greenfield” proposals will be charged a $30,000 fee under an OA revision approved by the PJM MC.

Con Ed of New York filed a complaint with FERC stating its opposition to a cost allocation formula that PJM has devised for two transmission upgrades.

MISO plans to unveil a plan next spring for monitoring and managing low-voltage facilities that can cause overloads on its transmission system.

The PJM TEAC has identified 20 candidates for “market efficiency” projects in the competitive window that opened Oct. 30.

Transmission developers will have to include a $30,000 check with future “greenfield” proposals under a new rule approved by the PJM MRC last week.

State officials and generation owners promised last week to challenge the assumptions the EPA used in its proposed carbon rule.
