Energy agencies and offices from a group of Northeast states on June 23 released a Request for Information on Interregional Transmission Projects.
The RFI, prepared by the Northeast States Collaborative on Interregional Transmission, “seeks to fill a gap in today’s transmission planning processes by identifying potential interregional transmission opportunities, or ‘Candidate Projects’ that improve grid reliability, support economic growth, and reduce costs for consumers.”
The Northeast States Collaborative on Interregional Transmission is comprised of representatives from the States of Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, and Vermont.
Candidate projects may be proposed by any interested entities, including industry representatives, ratepayer advocates, utilities, or independent transmission developers.
Candidate projects should identify opportunities for interregional planning between at least two of the three control areas operated by the Northeastern transmission operators: the Independent System Operator of New England, the New York Independent System Operator, and PJM Interconnection LLC.
“This RFI is not an offer or commitment to fund, construct, or otherwise move forward with selection of any project or projects,” the RFI said.
The RFI invites project developers at all stages of the development process to respond by October 23, 2025.
