->>>> NSPM in the news! <<<<- To design the cost-effectiveness test for Virginia's energy efficiency landscape under the newly-enacted Savings Achieved Via Efficiency (SAVE) Act -- aimed at improving the transparency and effectiveness of energy-saving programs -- state regulators "will draw on recommendations from the National Standard Practice Manual." Chelsea Harnish: "What’s crucial is that the manual is an objective, technology-neutral reference tool for assessing energy efficiency investments based on eight guiding principles." “ 'Too often, utilities are putting in way more cost than benefit,' Harnish said, adding that stakeholders need to be able to review and comment on the methodologies and results of any cost-benefit analysis." All Southeast states except Tennessee are moving toward tests that incorporate principles from the National Standard Practice Manual, she added. https://lnkd.in/dxNaxZMs

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission issued Orders 1920 and 1977 to help clear the path for regional transmission development, while Congress is considering a long-awaited federal permitting reform plan. Can these policies change transmission's trajectory? This POWERGRID webinar tomorrow will feature perspectives from transmission utilities, developers, and regional grid planners 👉 https://ow.ly/2IFc50UiZuw #Transmission #FERC #EnergyWebinar #energyreliability #PowerGrid

PJM Interconnection and Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO) are teaming up to enhance power flows between their grids. This joint study, set for completion early next year, aims to boost reliability and resiliency through coordinated transmission analysis. This initiative responds to calls from state utility regulators, governors, and advocacy coalitions to address near-term needs and lay the groundwork for the future. Increasing transfer capacity could save over $15 billion by 2035! With the Big WIRES Act in Congress and the Department of Energy highlighting the need for new transfer capacity, this project is a crucial step towards a more resilient and sustainable energy future. #GridInnovation #EnergyEfficiency #PJM #MISO #SustainableEnergy #GridResiliency #EnergySavings #utilitiesmanagement #utilitiesmanager #energymarket #energyconsumption #energycosts #energyanalysis

Investing in transmission isn't just about powering homes today — it's about ensuring affordability, strengthening grid reliability and paving the way for the energy needs of tomorrow. MISO projects its latest portfolio can create $83 billion in net benefit over 40 years across the Midwest.

Capacity market prices for energy in PJM surged, signaling a crucial demand for additional generation. PJM Interconnection's footprint is set to allocate $14.7 billion for capacity in the 2025/26 delivery year, a substantial rise from $2.2 billion in the previous auction.

In our latest PJM Interconnection we discuss the potential impacts of developers recently withdrawing several thousand MW of projects from the PJM queue’s Transition Cycle #1 (TC1 study group), and highlight the continued project development challenges faced by developers with regards to site control, permitting, financing, and supply chain issues. https://buff.ly/3Xd8Qgk #powermarkets #energy #projectfinance

PJM has cleared 204 #generation projects to the second phase of its new #interconnection process, designed to study 72,000 MW of mostly renewable or hybrid resources by the third quarter of 2025. The projects are among approximately 230,000 MW that PJM expects to study for potential #grid connection over the next three years under new, reformed rules approved by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission in 2022. The reforms provide an efficient and timely process for handling New Service Requests. The 204 projects moving forward as part of Transition Cycle 1 represent 30,513 MW of mostly #renewable or hybrid generation located across 12 states. An additional 283 projects are moving through an Expedited “Fast Lane” Process. Together, Transition Cycle 1 and the Fast Lane represent approximately 56,000 MW of projects that will be through the PJM interconnection process by late 2025. While the new process is proceeding, PJM has 38,000 MW of projects that have already cleared PJM’s process but have not been built.

The California Energy Commission has launched an RFP for "Distributed Energy and Electrification Analysis" using the LF Energy Arras project. The goal of the initiative is "to buildout the state’s electric distribution grid model to support the CEC in assessing various electrification and distributed energy resource (DER) adoption scenarios."

In an effort to increase focus on planning and development of large regional transmission projects to meet growing energy demand, FERC released order 1920 to build a framework for regular long-term transmission planning. Read our infographic for some of the benefits and important considerations for energy utilities incorporating standards from this and other FERC orders into their operations. https://lnkd.in/ej7SNiAR #FERC1920 #GridPlanning #GridReliability
