MISO’s exploratory study on alleviating near-term transmission congestion has led the RTO to consider adding near-term economic benefits to its existing long-term economic planning.

MISO announced that it will add an informational study on near-term transmission congestion to its 2023 cycle of transmission planning.

To decrease congestion, MISO is suggesting a tighter limit on how much new generation can affect the surrounding grid without triggering more network upgrades.

Members endorsed a PJM and joint stakeholder proposal to address auction revenue rights and financial transmission rights in the RTO.

MISO defended its June 10 decision to call an emergency to access load-modifying resources at last week's Market Subcommittee meeting.

MISO and SPP's joint targeted interconnection queue study turned up the first transmission projects that could help generation interconnect near the seams.
