A MISO workshop fell short of defining energy storage market rules, but provided stakeholders an opportunity to hash out their thoughts on the technology.

MISO will study eclipse impacts over the next few weeks and request data from CAISO in preparation for the next eclipse in 2024.

MISO will resume discussion on possible cost recovery for participant-funded transmission projects under 345 kV.

U.S. grid operators, the ISOs and RTOs across the country, were well prepared for the first continent-wide total solar eclipse in nearly a century.

The Organization of MISO States (OMS) has formed a temporary work group to formulate ideas on incorporating DER into the grid.

MISO officials presented three proposals related to the implementation of the RTO’s new generator interconnection queue for stakeholder feedback.

FERC approved MISO’s more stringent capacity withholding rule while also allowing the RTO to remove demand response from market monitoring.

Seven of the eight stakeholder-originated project proposals evaluated by MISO and PJM are not expected to pass the RTOs’ benefit threshold.

The MISO rejection of the last possible interregional transmission project resulting from a coordinated study with SPP surprised the latter RTO.
