The NE States Collaborative on Interregional Transmission is seeking transmission consulting to assist in evaluating candidate projects coming out of the Collaborative's RFI on Interregional Transmission. Details available here!

Responses due October 23, 2025. We'll be announcing a webinar for those interested in the next couple of weeks. Full RFI available here:

Delighted to share the Request for Information issued today by the Northeast States Collaborative on Interregional Transmission. The RFI invites developers to identify interregional "Candidate Projects" that reduce costs and improve reliability across the northeast region.

🚨New paper alert🚨 “A State Playbook for Managing Data Center-Driven Load Growth.” . We try to answer questions we've heard from State policymakers across the country and explain how States can best deal with data center load growth uncertainty! .

All - here's an easier access link that doesn't require you to log into anything:

The selected fellow will work with me (Abe Silverman) in supporting multi-state convenings including the Northeast States Collaborative on Interregional Transmission & more! We’ll work on lots of cool stuff – including:

🚨Job Alert🚨Johns Hopkins' Sustainable Energy Institute is hiring a fellow/post-doc (PhD, JD or equivalent experience) to support our work on interregional transmission, state engagement, and offshore wind planning! Details & application available:

Please join us on Tuesday, April 29 at 10 am for a discussion of the Strategic Action Plan with leader state policymakers. Registration here:

2. issue a Request for Info to identify "low hanging fruit" projects suitable for development; . 3. Develop a strawman cost allocation framework; and . 4. Establish HVDC design standards & explore "buying pool concept" to support purchases of necessary equipment. Among others!.

Interregional transmission saves money and improves reliability but has been hampered by today's transmission planning processes. Key recommendations from today's Plan include: . 1. better planning to identify "low-regrets" interregional transmission projects;.

Delighted to share the Strategic Action Plan from the 9-state Northeast States Collaborative on Interregional Transmission Planning:

Delighted to report that Mrs. EnergyAbe (a.k.a. Dr. Jenny Greene) won a Presidential Award for Excellence in Science, Mathematics and Engineering Mentoring for her work teaching algebra and math to inmates in New Jersey's state and federal prisons! Woot!

Kent Chandler delivering as usual: "Everybody thinks their baby is the cutest. It’s almost never true. There can only be one cutest baby. There’s always a way to do things better. … You can make your baby cuter,” Chandler said." I think he's talking about ISO market design. ?.

Today the NE States Collaborative released a whitepaper talking about the opportunities of HVDC transmission to support offshore wind on the East Coast and the benefits of collective state actions to drive HVDC standardization.

Um. Order No. 1920 that is! 🤷.

Diagraming out a 1,000+ page order is a challenge, but with a little help (Sue Glatz, @ClaireWayner, Pauline Foley and others), we diagrammed out FERC's Order No. 1000 on transmission planning, including scenario plan development & cost allocation! Hope it's useful! 🔌💡

Delighted to report that 10 states – Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island & Vermont – signed a Memorandum of Understanding to support development of interregional transmission! Link here:
