Abstract
This paper reviews claims by the Independent System Operator-New England and regional transmission owners that billions of dollars invested in transmission infrastructure over the last two decades are justified by more competitive markets, higher reliability, and lower emissions. Absent evidence for these claims, the paper concludes that the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has instead opted to transfer economic rent from ratepayers to shareholders of transmission companies.
