Transmission planners see an increasing role for grid-enhancing technologies but disagree over whether they will be transformative or limited.

ISO-NE is developing a process for allowing energy storage projects to be used as transmission assets.

The Market Subcommittee discussed how a storage asset solving transmission needs could also participate in the energy market.

SPP stakeholders endorsed the RTO’s latest transmission planning assessment but also withheld approval of a 345-kV, double-circuit project in West Texas.

The MISO Market Subcommittee meeting ran the gamut of storage participation, discovery of a longstanding energy pricing error and FTR underfunding.

Stakeholders voted to delay the endorsement of PJM’s proposal to develop rules for how storage should be considered in the RTEP process.

FERC Chair Richard Glick told the Energy Storage Association one of his priorities is to further break down barriers for storage in the capacity markets.

SPP staff unveiled a proposed mitigation plan to reduce the four-year backlog in the RTO’s generation interconnection queue.

MISO executives last week said an evolving energy industry heralds big spending on transmission projects in the RTO’s footprint.

Stakeholders endorsed PJM’s proposal to develop rules for how storage should be considered in the RTEP process at the RTO's Planning Committee meeting.
