A group of renewable developers lodged a complaint at FERC over MISO’s pursuit of a smaller system impact threshold on interconnecting generation.

MISO remains set on limiting transmission congestion by instituting a lower system impact threshold on interconnecting generation.

MISO assured stakeholders that it has the means to study the 170 GW worth of new generation interconnection requests that officially queued up last month.

The Planning Committee heard updates on PJM's capital budget, the Reserve Requirement Study and an appellate court ruling on transmission cost allocation.

To decrease congestion, MISO is suggesting a tighter limit on how much new generation can affect the surrounding grid without triggering more network upgrades.

FERC denied a rehearing of its acceptance of a settlement between PJM and transmission owners over cost allocation of legacy transmission projects.

PJM must open Form 715 transmission projects to competitive bidding, with regional cost sharing involving high-voltage lines, FERC ordered.

In many ways, PJM's 2018 was much like years before, with capacity and energy market rules under constant redesign. Some stakeholders have grown weary of the churn.
