MISO's Feb. 8 Planning Subcommittee meeting introduced a new task team dedicated to transmission reconfigurations.

MISO's 339-project, $3.04 billion MTEP 21 is headed for approvals from the MISO Board of Directors. 

MISO acknowledged this week that a December approval for its first long-range transmission projects is out of reach and must wait until early spring.

MISO will make a fourth-quarter filing to slim its interconnection queue timeline from about 505 days to a single year.

MISO said it will pause its long-range transmission modeling and correct errors so it has the clearest picture of future grid performance.

MISO unveiled a first look at possible long-range transmission projects, igniting testy exchanges between stakeholders over the necessity of grid expansion.

MISO is seeking ways to modify its annual transmission plan and make it easier for stakeholders to suggest alternatives to TOs’ project proposals.

MISO announced it will table the effort to analyze network upgrades and wait until the end of the year to see how its long-term transmission plan develops.

A study finds that MISO can reliably operate with a fuel mix heavy on renewables, but only if its members dramatically expand transmission.

MISO is sticking with its usual slate of transmission planning studies for 2021, opting not to include specially targeted analyses in MTEP 21
