FERC again decided that neither MISO nor Montana-Dakota Utilities are entitled to recourse over a MISO-SPP flowgate in North Dakota strained by a cryptocurrency mining facility.

FERC is expected to rule on SPP’s proposed tariff revisions adding a winter season resource adequacy requirement and several other issues related to the grid operator.

MISO wants FERC to reconsider its decision to let a jointly managed flowgate with SPP stand, with the RTO arguing the North Dakota cryptomining facility burdening the line is SPP’s responsibility alone.
