FERC affirmed METC's 138-kV Morenci transmission project is a local distribution facility that should not be included in MISO's annual transmission plan.

MISO is mounting a third attempt to gain FERC approval to overhaul the cost allocation design for economic transmission projects after previous rejections.

MISO’s capacity auction marked the RTO’s first clearing price set by its cost of new entry, as prices in the Lower Peninsula rocketed to almost $260/MW-day.

SPP’s Market Monitor said MISO and SPP must rethink some of their fees and practices before rolling out coordinated transaction scheduling across the seam.

MISO will use the recommendations of the Coordinated Planning Process Task Team to work on synchronizing the RTO's transmission planning and generator interconnection processes.

MISO will ask FERC to waive its June 25 deadline for developers to demonstrate site control for projects entering MISO South’s 2020 interconnection cycle.

MISO is looking into a forward market mechanism and improvements to its scarcity and emergency pricing under its resource availability and need project.

MISO gathered interconnection and transmission customers to discuss potential waivers of its queue requirements because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

The MISO footprint sank deeper into the COVID-19 twilight zone in early April, with demand flattening further and some maintenance outages frozen.

MISO is offering stakeholders a compromise on one of two proposals it will file with FERC, removing a provision that would eliminate capacity credits for slow-response LMRs.
