California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a state budget and five-bill infrastructure package targeting reliability and building generation.

Two of the world’s richest men drew crowds when they discussed energy future at Edison Electric Institute’s annual conference last month.

MISO South regulators publicly opposed a postage stamp cost allocation design, potentially setting the stage for a showdown as MISO prepares for a third long-range transmission portfolio.

FERC approved changes to MISO and SPP’s affected system study process to allow either RTO to order upgrades of limiting elements on tie lines.

Panelists held several discussions on interregional transmission planning, resource adequacy and the risks posed by extreme weather during the Mid-Atlantic Conference of Regulatory Utilities Commissioners (MACRUC) annual educational conference held from June 26 through 28.

Americans for a Clean Energy Grid gave MISO and CAISO top grades for regional transmission planning and development; PJM and ISO-NE scored poorly.

The state's Board of Public Utilities  approved an additional expenses for the state’s $1.07 billion transmission project to connect offshore wind farms to the grid.

Stakeholders asked for cost containment measures for MISO's and SPP’s Joint Targeted Interconnection Queue portfolio after the RTOs said the cost estimate for the projects nearly doubled.

An ACORE report found billions of dollars that PJM's queue reforms could unlock in the next few years, but added that proactive transmission planning could lead to even more renewables and their associated benefits being added to the grid.
