The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has made dramatic changes to long-term planning requirements for interstate electricity transmission. Specifically, FERC introduced a rule that requires transmission providers conduct long-term planning and introduce plans for payment of regional transmission facilities.  The rule further mandates the adoption of a twenty-year outlook by the transmission providers to anticipate future needs.

“Our country is facing an unprecedented surge in demand for affordable electricity while confronting extreme weather threats to the reliability of our grid and trying to stay one step ahead of the massive technological changes we are seeing in our society” - FERC Chairman Willie Phillips
