The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission on Tuesday gave its stamp of approval to a new interregional transmission planning process aimed at easing congestion on the seam between Midcontinent Independent System Operator and PJM Interconnection. MISO, PJM and transmission owners within their footprints pitched changes to the MISO-PJM joint operating agreement in December to create a new category of crossborder transmission projects and a method for allocating the costs of those projects (ER17-718, ER17-721, ER17-729). To qualify as a so-called targeted market efficiency project (TMEP), a potential project must be able to be built relatively quickly to address persistent congestion at flowgates on the MISO-PJM seam at a cost below $20 million, under the JOA changes.
