WIRES in the News
The rule [FERC Order 1920] is designed to push projects that benefit ratepayers, resulting in more transmission capacity that can deliver cheaper electricity. It also addresses how costs are spread out among ratepayers in projects that include multiple states.
“Cost allocation is a huge issue, and it’s a contentious one,” said Larry Gasteiger, executive director of WIRES, a trade association.
“One of the last things we need in an effort to try to get transmission built in a timely basis is a lot more process, or things being injected into the process that create trip wires for projects to not move forward.” – Larry Gasteiger
