Building for the Future Through Electric Regional Transmission Planning and Cost Allocation; Notice of Motion for Extension of Time To Comply
What happened
A regulated utility (Southwest Power Pool, Inc.) asked the federal government for more time to prepare for a new rule. The rule changes how regional electricity transmission lines are planned and how their costs are shared. The utility needs until a later date in 2025 to comply.
Why it matters
If granted, this delay could impact the timeline for updating our nation's electric grid infrastructure. It may also affect when new cost-sharing methods for large power lines are implemented, which could influence electricity prices.
Who it affects
- ›Electricity consumers (residential and business)
- ›Utility companies (e.g., Southwest Power Pool)
- ›Electric grid planners and operators
- ›Developers of new energy projects
