FERC accepted changes to the New England Transmission Owners’ interconnection study rules but ordered changes to the interconnection agreement.

FERC adopted a new methodology for calculating return on equity rates for transmission owners and applied it to two MISO proceedings.

FERC established settlement judge procedures for four challenges to Emera Maine’s proposed transmission rate, summarily deciding on four other challenges and ordering the utility to make a compliance filing.

FERC disclosed data underlying its new formula for setting ROE rates for New England transmission owners and explained how it influenced the methodology.

A FERC administrative law judge ruled that municipal utilities and commission staff failed to prove that a group of transmission owners’ base return on equity is unjust.
