FERC must look beyond reliability standards to boost electric industry winter readiness, says R Street Institute's Michael Giberson.

FERC must act to strengthen interregional transmission ties to improve reliability, says former Arkansas PSC Chair Ted Thomas.

House Republicans are moving the first energy permitting bill through Congress, but it lacks any provisions around electric transmission.

A report by the Clean Energy Buyers Institute and Grid Strategies says the West and Southeast need independent transmission planners, even if they aren't RTOs.

Former FERC Chair Richard Glick says an industry report on transmission’s value underscores what many already know: More capacity makes a big difference.

An ACORE panel on maintaining reliability on the path to decarbonization focused on scenario planning, energy efficiency — and magical thinking.

Barbara Tyran, director of ACORE’s Macro Grid Initiative, discusses the issues grid operators and regulators face in ensuring cost-effective, reliable service.

A Brattle Group-Grid Strategies study on transmission planning pinpoints inefficiencies that hinder the integration of new renewable resources.

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

Decarbonizing the U.S. grid will also mean overcoming communities’ aesthetic objections to large projects, Seattle City Light CEO Debra Smith told SEPA.
