Transforming Regional Transmission Planning: FERC Order 1920 Explained

FERC Order 1920 addresses the persistent failures in current U.S. regional transmission planning, which has been insufficient in its long-term scope and led to uncoordinated expansion and unjust rates. The order mandates transmission providers engage in comprehensive, long-term regional planning using diverse scenarios and advanced technologies, alongside robust cost allocation methods and stakeholder engagement. This initiative is currently in progress as transmission providers work to implement the new compliance requirements.
