FERC can choose the state plan as long as it complies with Order 1920 and cost causation principles, Kellerman said.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><span><span><span>In addition, states can request transmission providers to conduct additional planning scenarios beyond the required three scenarios. They can, for example, request a baseline scenario that doesn’t include state energy policies to see how those policies affect transmission costs, according to Christie. States could then establish a cost allocation formula so that states with policies that trigger transmission buildouts pay for the construction, Christie said.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><span><span><span>FERC removed a requirement that transmission planners consider corporate energy goals in developing their plans. It also said transmission planners don’t have to use a set of seven specific economic and reliability benefits to identify their transmission needs.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <div class="hybrid-ad-wrapper show-small hide-large"> <div class="hybrid-ad-inner-wrapper"> <div class="show-small hide-large"> <div data-container-ad-unit-id="/21662595662/utilitydive/utilitydivehybrid2-mobile"></div> <div id="dfp-hybrid2-mobile"> <script> waitToLoadAds.push(function() { googletag.cmd.push(function() { if (window.dfp_visibility == 'mobile' ) { googletag.display('dfp-hybrid2-mobile'); googletag.pubads().addEventListener('slotRenderEnded', function (event) { var adUnitPath = '/21662595662/utilitydive/utilitydivehybrid2'; var onProformative = false; if (onProformative && event.slot.getAdUnitPath() === adUnitPath && !event.isEmpty ) { var adUnitPathWithVisibility = adUnitPath + '-mobile'; var selector = '.pf-comments__ad-wrapper [data-container-ad-unit-id="' + adUnitPathWithVisibility + '"]'; if (!$(selector).closest('.pf-comments__ad-wrapper').hasClass('borders')) { $(selector).closest('.pf-comments__ad-wrapper').addClass('borders') } } }); } }); }); </script> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="hide-small show-large" id="desktop-inline-signup"></div> <p><span><span><span><span><span><span>Under the revised rule, transmission providers have up to two years to file compliance plans, up from one year in the original rule.

Some states, for example, wanted FERC to only approve cost allocation methodologies approved by states, he said. Instead, FERC required transmission providers to file state-approved methodologies to be considered alongside any transmission provider proposals, he said.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><span><span><span>FERC also required transmission providers to provide detailed reports on their discussions with states about cost allocation, which will give the agency more information when they review those proposals, Chandler said.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><span><span><span>FERC’s ability to reach a 4-0 decision on the rehearing requests bodes well for the agency heading into next year, according to Chandler.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><span><span><span>“It provides me confidence going forward for the agency that they were willing to work so well together and come up with an outcome that made everyone happy,” Chandler said. “I have a lot of confidence that if we keep all five of these commissioners through the next year, that they can get a lot done and ensure that it's done in a bipartisan way that ensures that it is sustainable.”</span></span></span></span></span></span></p> </div> <div class="reading-list recommended-reading"> <h3
