NERC filed the completed Interregional Transfer Capability Study to FERC ahead of the December deadline set by Congress in the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023.

NERC released the first installment of the federally mandated ITCS in draft form this week.

NERC said it will release the ITCS by August, with additional U.S. analyses to be completed in November and Canadian results to follow next year.

MISO and PJM announced they will embark on a new joint transmission study in the latter half of this year that concentrates on upping their interregional transfer capability.

CAISO's Department of Market Monitoring found that limits on WEIM imports last year led to increased transmission congestion in the ISO's markets.

Work is underway on the Interregional Transfer Capability Study that Congress assigned to NERC earlier this year.

In a workshop, FERC commissioners and stakeholders debated the pros and cons of requiring minimum transfer capability between regions to promote reliability.
