Big support for the Midwestern grid operator's recently approved regional transmission portfolio & opposition to a 5-state complaint seeking @FERC intervention 👀 "the consequences of the unprecedented reversal of Tranche 2.1...will be profound." -MISO ⤵️ utilitydive.com/news/complaint…

Complaint over MISO’s $22B transmission portfolio faces widespread opposition
Granting the complaint from five utility commissions could delay adding power supplies in the Midcontinent region and hurt reliability, according to comments filed at the Federal Energy Regulatory...
"...businesses must have certainty that when all the permits required for a project have been obtained, the project can be completed...revoking wind permits today opens the door to uncertainty for all types of energy projects," @martyjdurbin, @USChamber ⤵️ uschamber.com/economy/we-nee…
"It only makes sense that with increased load growth will require increased transmission." Great to hear both FERC nominees discuss the importance of interregional transmission and grid-enhancing technologies to ensuring affordable, reliable power. David LaCerte & Laura Swett⤵️
Today, we went to the Hill to discuss a politically viable fix for our strained and aging electric grid: a high-voltage direct current (HVDC) macrogrid. ⚡️
ICYMI: Sept. 17 @RockyMtnInst & Quanta Technology webinar Elise Caplan of @ACORE will moderate the discussion on how stakeholders can deploy advanced transmission technologies to boost capacity, improve flexibility, and speed new energy integration. rmi.org/event/webinar-…

"Without an expansion of the transmission network, growth in electricity demand from new manufacturing plants and other large users of electricity could strain the grid and increase the risk of power outages," writes ELCON President and CEO @KarenOnaran realclearenergy.org/articles/2025/…

American Industry Needs Low-Cost Energy and an Expanded Power Grid
The Trump administration is working to unleash American energy to restore the nation’s economic prosperity. But the economic sectors driving this prosperity will require a stronger, expanded pow
What's key to successful multistate Tx planning? Identifying cost savings "It is a very different conversation if we go in and say, 'We have $1B of benefits that we want to allocate between three states,' vs 'We have $500M of costs we need to allocate.'" utilitydive.com/news/interregi…
Over 18 months @NERC_Official studied the nation's interregional transmission capacity, finding a need for at least an additional 35 GW. "The U.S. is falling far behind competitors; China is doing 80 times what we're doing here on high-voltage." - @RobGramlichDC Full remarks ⤵️
"There's probably 20 high-quality studies all showing enormous consumer benefits if we get interregional transmission right...It's also often lowering costs for consumers, and it's certainly improving reliability." -@AbeEnergy 📰 via @rtoinsider rtoinsider.com/112900-states-…
"Vantage is relatively agnostic as to the source of those electrons, so in the case of rulemaking or regulatory action that slows down the process of approving new generation or new transmission would definitely be a negative for our business." -@VantageDC's Jeff Tench
"While multi-state coordination of Tx network expansion is inherently more complex than individual state-led infrastructure projects, regional and interregional network upgrades often yield significantly greater benefits than smaller, local lines." -@K_Sercy, @NiskanenCenter 👏
This webinar promises to be informative - a great lineup on a great topic. We recently wrote about multi-state transmission collaboration. The US could get a lot of additional mileage out of this approach. niskanencenter.org/collaboration-…
