POLITICO Energy Why states are pushing back on regional transmission organizations
Some state officials and consumer advocates in Maryland, West Virginia, and Kentucky are pushing back against the power of regional transmission organizations. But utilities argue that making decisions in private — under the current RTO system — is more effective and that reforms are unnecessary. POLITICO’s Catherine Morehouse breaks down how regional transmission organizations work and why states are fighting for more influence. Plus, DOE proposed lowering the calculation used to determine the equivalent fuel economy of electric vehicles by more than 70 percent.
