The MISO-SPP joint targeted interconnection queue study has moved into its technical phase with a promise of more stakeholder involvement.

SPP’s state regulators agreed on revisions to a package of recommendations, including one that prioritizes resolving rate pancaking.

MISO state regulators debated what to include in a list of guidance principles on transmission project cost allocation they will send to the RTO.

MISO’s and SPP’s state regulators gave the RTOs’ staffs an opportunity to respond to their monitors’ suggestions for improving interregional coordination.

MISO and SPP announced a yearlong transmission study to identify projects with “comprehensive, cost-effective and efficient upgrades.”

MISO and SPP regulators are close to asking the RTOs for improvements to transmission operations on their seam as their market monitors wind down a study.

The Organization of MISO States continues to signal its grid operator that regulators are ready for dynamic transmission line ratings in the footprint.

The growth of DER means the MISO grid will become increasingly fraught with planning challenges that require target responses, stakeholders heard.

Regulators in MISO and SPP states are looking into the RTOs’ inability to develop interregional projects intended to relieve congestion across seams.

MISO’s Monitor found no major concerns with performance in MISO South, but wants the RTO to better handle short-notice and unreported generation outages.
