Some regulators aren’t convinced about merging MISO’s transmission planning with interconnection studies, a move some say could improve cost effectiveness.

MISO members say work-from-home measures and social distancing in workplaces aren’t impeding their pace of work, but miss the personal collaboration.

Environmental and renewable groups are backing an effort to promote a 'Macro Grid' that would deliver wind and solar power from the Midwest to urban centers.

Four years after approval, MISO’s first competitive transmission project, Republic Transmission's Duff-Coleman line, began transporting power.

MISO said it continues to weigh changes to its markets and resource adequacy construct as part of its multiyear resource availability and need project.

MISO could face a generation shortfall as early as 2022, according to the annual survey by the Organization of MISO States and the RTO.

MISO said a new rule prohibiting resources on extended outages from offering capacity contributed to the historic spike in Zone 7 prices in April’s PRA.

MISO will likely extend its settlement agreement for flows on the Midwest-South subregional transmission constraint through early 2023.

MISO said it will file a one-time waiver with FERC to ensure market participants can replace load-modifying resources impacted by the coronavirus pandemic.

MISO can begin requiring new solar generation in its footprint to become dispatchable by early 2022, FERC ruled.
