Dumb question #energytwitter: Why is it called "draft final rule"? Is this FERC's version of Order1920_FINAL_v2.pdf?

Should've called Saul.

It’s a great day! All three FERC nominees were reported out of the ENR Committee this morning. The biggest news was probably Sen. Manchin’s closing (responding to Sen. Hawley’s objection to Lindsay See) that permitting bill text is drafted and he’s hoping to share it 🔜 …

#energytwitter U.S. Department of Energy NREL released their new report in the National Transmission Planning Study series, "Barriers and Opportunities To Realize the System Value of Interregional Transmission." It focuses on existing interregional Tx & is fascinating 🧵 nrel.gov/docs/fy24osti/…

PJM experts out there - wth is up with this CIL and what could possibly be the justification for it?

Hot take: It does not matter who owns the wires, but how we coordinate and regulate/incentivize them.

Today we'll learn who is likely to sue FERC about Order No. 1920 (transmission planning rule) and what they'll likely argue in court. But we won't know FERC's chances of successfully defending itself for another 40+ days. Here's my scorecard for tracking today's filings:

There’s a significant disconnect between what Duke is representing to regulators vs. what it’s signaling with this MOU - one that highlights important questions around overlapping public & private decarb goals. (1/x) canarymedia.com/articles/clean…

In addition, this makes me wonder about the disconnect between trying to achieve (v laudable) corporate 24/7 clean energy goals through the same old parochial local/state utility planning paradigms instead of pushing for more economic regional and interregional planning. #1920

All three @FERC nominees have now been confirmed by the Senate! Congrats to Dave Rosner, Lindsay See, and Judy Chang!

FERC moves to end utilities' clean energy tax -- FERC finds that allowing utilities to profit from transmission upgrades paid for by new generators may be unjust and unreasonable and unduly discriminatory. elibrary.ferc.gov/eLibrary/filel…
