FERC rejected MISO’s cost allocation proposal for market efficiency projects, saying it was at odds with the principle of cost causation.

LS Power asked FERC to compel MISO to lower the threshold for competitively bid market efficiency projects from 345 kV to 100 kV.

MISO and its stakeholders are considering how to more accurately measure the potential benefits of proposed transmission projects.

PJM’s Planning Committee endorsed capacity generation rule changes for Manual 21, save the controversial effective load-carrying capability calculations.

PJM scheduled two meetings in the coming weeks to discuss rules for removing projects from the Regional Transmission Expansion Plan.

MISO and a majority of its transmission owners filed a new cost allocation plan with FERC that would change the way the RTO allocates costs for market efficiency projects.

PJM will extend the submission window for long-term projects an additional two weeks to account for recent transmission planning rule changes.

FERC approved PJM’s revisions to its market efficiency planning rules, despite protests from developers that the changes will underestimate needs and costs.

Residents opposed to PJM’s largest-ever congestion-reducing transmission project attended a meeting of the Transmission Expansion Advisory Committee.

The PJM Markets and Reliability Committee agreed to a one-year delay in adding cost-containment measures to the RTO’s transmission planning process.
