Nearing the tenth anniversary of its landmark Order No. 1000, FERC issued an Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking which examines whether existing approaches adequately account for the transmission needs of a changing resource mix. The ANOPR probes a wide range of topics and appears likely to generate specific proposals for fundamental reform to how we plan and pay for the grid. This update highlights key proposals and expressed need for reform reflected in FERC’s lengthy ANOPR, published in the Federal Register July 27, 2021. Reform of this scale could touch every corner of the power sector and FERC is likely to receive a considerable volume of comments. We offer some specific considerations for stakeholders preparing comments on the ANOPR and note that comments will be due October 12, 2021.
