Looking forward to presenting on this to discuss Federal Energy Regulatory Commission transmission planning and what the future holds for #transmission development and #energy

Via Utility Dive: " FERC in Focus: What’s on tap for the rest of 2024 as FERC’s 3 new commissioners gear up?: Experts expect the commission will tackle rehearing requests on its new transmission planning rule and review interconnection reform compliance plans, among other actions, over the next six months.

🗣️“I would say to the states, this is giving you a much bigger toolbox with a much better set of tools.” - Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's Mark Christie Whoohoo! FERC recently voted to expand state regulators’ ability to shape scenario development and cost allocation around grid transmission. This vote comes on the heels of some significant lobbying from energy advocates and state officials. https://hubs.li/Q02ZybPt0 #PoweringTheEnergyTransformation #communitysolar #commercialsolar #assetacquisition

Evan Vaughan, Executive Director of MAREC Action, recently delivered a presentation on #energystorage to the State of Delaware Energy Stakeholders Group, organized by Stephanie Hansen head of the Senate Environment & Energy Committee. Delaware joins a growing number of PJM Interconnection states exploring energy storage to enhance grid reliability.

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is expected to issue a final rule on regional transmission planning and cost allocation that's potentially one of the most important regulatory decisions in our lifetimes. Affordable, reliable, and #CleanEnergy depends on #transmission. Join us Thursday, May 2 at 1pm ET to discuss the rule and next steps. ⤵️ https://lnkd.in/esJUqi3z

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission should bar transmission owners from independently planning “local” transmission projects above 100-kV, according to a complaint filed Thursday at the agency by a coalition of large energy users and ratepayer advocates. “Local planning, coupled with the absence of an independent transmission system planner, has produced inefficient planning and projects that are not cost-effective, resulting in unjust and unreasonable rates for both individual projects and cumulative regional transmission plans and portfolios,” the coalition said. https://lnkd.in/gqJFa_Hv

👉👉The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) issued Order 1920, which puts more of the power to regulate #electricity transmission in the hands of the states. The goal is to increase transmission capacity so more #renewableenergy can come online and lower electricity prices for consumers - a goal I think we can all get behind. A handful of states, however, are suing to stop the rule from being implemented, arguing that it reduces their ability to regulate transmission in their states. Fortunately, 14 states and the District of Columbia have petitioned the Commission to keep the rule in place, arguing it not only increases the role states have to play in building electricity transmission but also lowers overall electricity prices for all stakeholders. I’m hoping Order 1920 stays in place because the benefits of increasing transmission and allowing more renewable energy on the grid, which will accelerate lower prices, are potentially grid-changing.  https://lnkd.in/ex9pjjsh #Deliveringacleanenergyfuture #commercialsolar #communitysolar
