MISO avoided maximum generation alerts and events this fall despite dealing with record-breaking temperature swings in its southern footprint.

A new task team is considering sequencing parts of MISO’s transmission planning with network upgrades identified in generator interconnection studies.

MISO stakeholders debated whether the RTO is being too conservative in anticipating industry shifts in its new futures scenarios for transmission planning.

MISO says it will look to make improvements to the capacity testing process after sifting through results from its generators and discovering errors.

MISO received approval to require its generation developers to secure land for projects earlier in the interconnection queue over protests from developers.

MISO is moving ahead with a proposal to bring solar generation into market dispatch, reusing many rules that brought dispatchable wind generation.

FERC approved PJM-MISO JOA revisions regarding coordinated system plans and approved tighter site control requirements in MISO's interconnection procedures.

Two environmental groups that say regulated utilities’ practice of self-committing coal plants is costing ratepayers have a point, RTO officials said.

MISO may have to devise new lines of communication, rethink its data management and alter dispatch rules to give DERs access to its markets.

Continuous improvement of MISO’s wind forecasting is more important now that more than 90% of wind farms in the footprint rely on the RTO’s predictions.
