LS Power was unsuccessful with the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals in separate attempts to force MISO to open more projects to competition.

MISO is resisting clean energy developers’ calls to allow penalty-free queue withdrawals for generation projects bogged down by SPP’s affected system studies.

MISO is refreshing its longstanding “parking lot” of improvement ideas submitted to the grid operator; some ideas have been in a holding pattern for years.

Entergy announced that chairman and CEO Leo Denault will step down early next year after a decade at the helm of the utility.

A panel convened by the American Council on Renewable Energy largely agreed that MISO’s transmission benefits process could be a blueprint for the country.

MISO and SPP say they have plenty of constrained flowgates that could become candidates for smaller, cross-border transmission projects.

Illinois’ climate goals could cost other states in PJM and MISO tens of millions in transmission upgrades as coal and natural gas power plants are retired.

State regulatory staff and MISO executives found no easy answers to solve a burgeoning reliability crisis after converging for a resource adequacy summit.

The battle over MISO transmission owners’ return on equity continued with the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals vacating FERC’s order setting the rate at 10.02%.

FERC failed to consider the impact of potential rate increases when it allowed LG&E/KU to partially exit market power mitigation, the D.C. Circuit ruled.
