Panelists dissected FERC’s proposed rulemaking on transmission planning and cost allocation, noting what the commission left out and the challenges ahead.

Participants at FERC’s workshop on performance-based ratemaking approaches support GETs, but they disagree on how best to foster their adoption.

Advocates of grid-enhancing technologies said “shared savings” is needed to persuade utilities to adopt low-cost investments to free up crucial transmission.

The D.C. Circuit backed FERC's reversal of a waiver over SPP transmission upgrade costs, even though it resulted in a “free pass” for some system users.

FERC directed PJM’s transmission owners to provide evidence that they are being squeezed financially by their inability to earn a return on network upgrades.

The CPUC approved the state's largest rollout of covered conductor, with Southern California Edison planning to install 4,500 miles, costing nearly $2 billion.

Energy prices in PJM increased “significantly” in the first half of 2021 compared to 2020, but prices remained lower than historical levels, the IMM reported.

MISO and SPP have shared an early concept for cost allocation on joint transmission projects intended to ease the two’s crowded interconnection queues.

Louisiana and Mississippi joined MISO and its TOs in opposing LS Power’s campaign for regional cost sharing of transmission projects down to 100 kV.

R Street Institute's Devin Hartman discusses anti-competitive flaws in RTO transmission policy and ways to level the playing field to encourage innovation.
