FERC’s proposed new approach to awarding transmission incentives drew some support but also generated much sticker shock among stakeholders.

Stakeholders reiterated the positions in their initial comments in FERC's inquiry into its transmission incentive policies as they rebutted each other.

SPP’s Regional State Committee endorsed a report on wind-rich areas and several recommendations related to the effort to improve its planning processes.

FERC’s request for comments on transmission incentives produced splits between transmission owners and load interests, as well as calls for new policies.

FERC will seek comments on how it could improve its transmission incentives and return on equity policies under two Notices of Inquiry.
