Has anyone started looking at how the new FERC Order 1920 is going to affect transmission cost allocation on commercial bills? My understanding is it could shift significant costs between regions. Some of my clients in PJM territory are asking questions I don't have answers to yet.
New FERC ruling on transmission charges - impact on commercial bills
We've been tracking this closely. The short version is that transmission charges on commercial bills could increase 8-15% in some territories over the next 2-3 years as new infrastructure costs get allocated. It's going to create a lot of confused business owners looking at higher bills with no change in usage.
Honestly this could be a business development opportunity for auditors. When transmission charges spike, clients start paying attention to their bills for the first time. Good time to reach out to prospects.
