SDG&E also filed a proposed base transmission revenue requirement (BTRR) and associated retail and wholesale transmission rates based on the proposed TO6 Formula. On December 31, 2024, the Commission issued an order accepting in part the proposed TO6 Formula and related 2025 BTRR, suspending them for five months to become effective June 1, 2025, subject to refund, and establishing hearing and settlement judge procedures.

On March 3, 2025, FERC issued an order denying rehearing by operation of law. The Commission stated it would address the requests for rehearing of the initial order filed in this proceeding in a future order.

| Puget Sound Energy, Inc. On July 12, 2022, Puget Sound Energy, Inc.

On June 15, 2023, FERC issued an order accepting PSE’s compliance filings, to be effective July 12, 2025, subject to further compliance.

On February 4, 2025, LSP Transmission Holdings II, LLC; LS Power Midcontinent, LLC; Central Transmission, LLC; and LS Power Grid DRS Holdings, LLC (collectively, LS Power) filed a complaint against MISO arguing that MISO violated its Open Access Transmission Tariff by treating an Indiana incumbent preference law (HEA 1420) as an “applicable law” under its tariff even though a U.S. district court issued a preliminary injunction temporarily pausing HEA 1420’s enforcement. LS Power seeks an order from FERC confirming that the preliminary injunction bars MISO from applying HEA 1420 through its tariff. On March 25, 2025, MISO responded with a motion to dismiss (or, in the alternative, leave to respond and answer) on the basis that the Seventh Circuit vacated the preliminary injunction issued by the district court.
Agenda item E-11 may be an order on the complaint and/or motion to dismiss. |
