CA Energy Consulting, in collaboration with Energy Policy Group, has recently produced a report on behalf of the Eastern Interconnection States’ Planning Council and the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners. This report assembles information from a wide variety of sources, and compares wholesale market structures, transmission planning processes, and state laws and regulations in the Eastern Interconnection. The information and comparisons will help state regulators understand how market structures and state rules may affect incentives for and barriers to generation and transmission investments.

The citation for the report is as follows:
