ACP released a report produced by The Brattle Group laying out how organized markets can replicate the success CAISO and ERCOT have had in deploying energy storage resources.

MISO’s proposal to use a temporary “fast lane” in its interconnection queue to speed up necessary resource additions would give utility-owned generation preferential treatment, according to protesters’ comments filed with FERC.

MISO announced it will scrap its plan to use an existing DR participation category to get aggregators of DERs participating on a limited basis a few years ahead of a full Order 2222 rollout in 2030.

FERC gave MISO the go-ahead to set its value of lost load at $10,000/MWh by early fall, nearly three times as high as the current $3,500/MWh value.

MISO and SPP staff asked for input on a joint system study in 2025 during their annual transmission issues evaluation with their Interregional Planning Stakeholder Advisory Committee, which was only too happy to comply.

MISO’s real-time energy prices in February 2025 nearly doubled from a year earlier as the footprint saw higher load and gas prices.

The Louisiana Public Service Commission selected a contractor to measure its statewide energy efficiency program, days after rumblings that a commissioner was prepared to dismantle the long-awaited program.

FERC again decided that neither MISO nor Montana-Dakota Utilities are entitled to recourse over a MISO-SPP flowgate in North Dakota strained by a cryptocurrency mining facility.

Calls to consider a dissolved or weakened Inflation Reduction Act alongside appeals for stronger MISO South planning epitomized the tough situation and unsteady political climate MISO finds itself in as it tries to establish transmission planning expectations.

FERC granted rate incentives for the priciest project to come out of MISO’s 2024 Transmission Expansion Plan, setting off friction between commissioners.
