WindAction | States shouldn't have to pay for transmission driven by other states' policies: FERC's Christie

Highlighting the cost allocation issue, FERC on Monday was urged to reject the PJM Interconnection’s plan to broadly allocate costs from a $5.1 billion transmission plan that is designed to handle data center load growth in Virginia and power plant retirements. “PJM’s new transmission projects are demonstrably for the purpose of importing electricity from West Virginia and Pennsylvania to Virginia and Maryland as a result of the energy and economic policies of these two states,” Theresa Ann Ghiorzi said in comments filed at FERC.
