Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit remanded to the Commission
certain orders \1\ concerning transmission owner (TO) Initial Funding

region.\3\ The American Clean Power remand proceeding is pending before

(2018); Midcontinent Indep. Sys. Operator, Inc., 169 FERC ] 61,233
(2019).
\2\ Under TO Initial Funding, the transmission owner
unilaterally elects to initially fund the network upgrade capital
costs that it incurs to provide interconnection service to the
interconnection customer, and the transmission owner subsequently
recovers the network upgrade capital costs through charges that
provide a return on and of these network upgrade capital costs from
the interconnection customer. Midcontinent Indep. Sys. Operator,

(American Clean Power remand proceeding).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On June 13, 2024, the Commission issued the Order to Show Cause
finding that the existing open access transmission tariffs of certain
regional transmission organizations and independent system operators,
including MISO, appear to be unjust, unreasonable, and unduly
discriminatory or preferential because they include provisions for
transmission owners to unilaterally elect TO Initial Funding.\4\

Upon consideration, given the common issues raised in the American

is held in abeyance pending the outcome of the Order to Show Cause
proceeding.
