FERC Rejects PJM Transmission Planning Change
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has rejected a proposal from PJM Interconnection, one of the United States' largest regional transmission organizations, to alter its transmission planning protocol. The decision represents a significant victory for state regulators who had expressed strong opposition to the changes, arguing that they would undermine states' authority in shaping the future of energy infrastructure.
The Proposed Changes
PJM’s proposal aimed to adjust its approach to regional transmission planning, focusing on...
