A bill granting incumbent transmission owners the right of first refusal to build and operate transmission in Michigan won final legislative approval.

The Cardinal-Hickory Creek transmission project slated to cut through southwestern Wisconsin has been put on hold.

Michigan’s Senate voted to grant incumbent transmission owners the right of first refusal to build and operate new transmission lines in the state.

Former Wisconsin Commissioner Mike Huebsch has tainted the permitting process of the Cardinal-Hickory Creek transmission line by contacting ATC and ITC employees through an encrypted messaging app during the permitting process.

After years of using its own generator interconnection cost allocation method, ATC will transition to MISO’s after FERC gave the company its approval.

MISO is poised to recommend its first-ever storage-as-transmission project to ease reliability issues in central Wisconsin.

Environmentalists, preservationists and renewable energy advocates are at odds over the approval of a MISO transmission line designed to carry wind energy.

FERC denied the Michigan PSC request to reconsider a decision over refunds associated with a SSR agreement between MISO and the White Pine plant.

FERC authorized ITC Midwest and American Transmission to recover “prudently incurred costs” if the Cardinal-Hickory Creek project is abandoned or canceled.

FERC on Monday denied Cloverland Electric Cooperative’s request for relief from its mandatory purchase obligation under the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act, citing the co-op’s lack of RTO membership as a primary reason.
