  • 2020-26107 — Managing Transmission Line Ratings
    💰
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:86 FR 6420
    Reading Time:about 2 hours

    The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) proposes new rules to enhance the accuracy and transparency of transmission line ratings to better reflect real-time conditions. The proposal includes requiring transmission providers to use ambient-adjusted ratings (AAR) that consider current air temperatures and dynamic line ratings (DLR) for more accurate transfer capabilities. It also suggests that Regional Transmission Organizations (RTOs) and Independent System Operators (ISOs) need systems to frequently update these ratings electronically. The goal is to ensure fairer and more efficient energy pricing while maintaining the safety and reliability of the electrical grid.

    Simple Explanation

    The government wants to make sure electricity lines are safer and that prices are fair by using better technology to watch and adjust how much electricity goes through the lines, like checking the weather every hour. But, setting up this technology might be expensive and there are questions about privacy and sharing information.
