FERC issues transmission planning and cost allocation rule.</span></span></strong></span></span></span><span><span><span><span><span><span> At a special meeting in May, </span></span></span></span></span></span><a href="https://www.utilitydive.com/news/ferc-transmission-planning-cost-allocation-rule/716018/"><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>FERC approved Order 1920</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></a><span><span><span><span><span><span> on a 2-1 vote, with Commissioner Mark Christie issuing a sharp dissent. The rule — </span></span></span></span></span></span><a href="https://www.utilitydive.com/news/ferc-state-transmission-planning-cost-allocation/622532/"><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>proposed in April 2022</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></a><span><span><span><span><span><span> — requires transmission providers to consider forward-looking factors when developing their plans, such as utility resource plans, state energy goals, corporate energy procurement commitments and interconnection queues. The transmission plans must look ahead at least 20 years.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><span><span><span>About 50 requests for rehearing or reconsideration have been filed so FERC, with three new commissioners who didn’t vote on the order, could revise it. It will also likely be challenged in court.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><strong><span><span>2.
