The postage-stamp cost allocation method for long-term transmission projects might be coming back in vogue in MISO.

Columnist Steve Huntoon says a proposal by PJM TOs to rate base network upgrades and charge generators formula rates would harm new wind and solar.

MISO and transmission owners said they need nine more months to issue refunds stemming from FERC's 2020 change to ROE in transmission rates.

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

Clean energy advocates mounted new attacks on the Southeast Energy Exchange Market, saying it would offer a fraction of the benefits of an organized market.

FERC will reconsider whether the 1% de minimis threshold and netting provisions of PJM's DFAX method result in fair transmission cost allocations.

Transmission owners told FERC that limiting the RTO participation adder would reduce grid investments while ratepayers called the proposal long overdue.

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

FERC rejected SPP's proposed Tariff revision establishing a cost-allocation waiver process related to the RTO's highway/byway methodology.

Without any financial incentives from the federal level, utilities are unlikely to make the huge investments needed to deploy grid-enhancing technologies.
