Checklist for States to Influence Transmission Outcomes Under Order 1920 Blog Graphic

Last May, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission issued Order No. 1920, a landmark order requiring all transmission providers to engage in multi-value long-term regional transmission planning. The order grants states significant opportunities to engage in this process. In December, the Commission issued Order No. 1920-A, responding to issues raised on rehearing (where parties can argue that the Commission should have ruled differently on specific issues in the final order). Order No. 1920-A expanded the role of states in the planning process. Since then, all the multi-state RTO/ISO regions have requested extensions, giving states and transmission providers additional time to craft compliance plans. States can use this extra time to work together to identify priorities and reach alignment on key questions raised by the order.

Below, we outline the key decisions and actions states can take to influence compliance and to engage in implementation once the planning process begins.

New Mexico Roundhouse Advances Clean Energy, Although Some Measures Fall Short

NM Roundhouse Advances Clean Energy Miss Opportunities

The 2025 New Mexico legislative session ended with both meaningful progress and frustrating setbacks for clean energy advocates. Advanced Energy United and our partners helped move forward legislation that will upgrade the state’s transmission system and support long-term affordability. But other transformative measures—including a bill to promote proactive distribution system planning and expanded electrification—fell short. 

This year’s session was defined by an intense focus on public safety and behavioral health, sparked by recent violent incidents and political pressure on lawmakers to respond decisively. As a result, other policy areas—including energy—faced heightened hurdles in gaining traction. Despite early movement of public safety legislation, much of the session was consumed by debate over this topic, leading to fewer opportunities for forward-looking clean energy measures to advance.
