A House panel heard testimony on Democratic proposals to address cost allocation problems and increase federal authority over siting of transmission lines.

MISO and SPP's joint targeted interconnection queue study turned up the first transmission projects that could help generation interconnect near the seams.

The future of the Independence Energy Connection transmission project is still undecided as Transource Energy appealed the Pennsylvania PUC's decision.

MISO says voltage stability and thermal issues will get out of hand within the decade unless it instates some transmission solutions.

Gov. Jared Polis signed Senate Bill 72, an infrastructure and transmission bill that would require utilities with transmission facilities to join an RTO.

Direct Connect Development Co. filed a complaint with FERC that PJM’s tariff and Operating Agreement are unjust and unreasonable.

The Efficient Grid Interconnection Act would require FERC to revise rules on cost allocation and push RTOs and ISOs to consider grid-enhancing technologies.

A growing interest in grid flexibility looks beyond demand management to accommodate and balance distributed generation and loads.

MISO execs say long-term transmission and a capacity market redesign are a must in response to rising climate risks and fleet change.

SPP accrued $13.25 million in market-to-market settlements from MISO for April, pushing its total to $146.63 million since the process began in 2014.
