For MISO, 2017 will likely be filled with capacity auction changes, cost allocation debates, an updated interconnection queue and transmission studies.

MISO will file a revised set of interconnection queue changes with FERC on Oct. 21, and this time it says it has “overwhelming” stakeholder support for the changes.

At the MISO Informational Forum, stakeholders were briefed by a special agent from the FBI about cybersecurity threats against the grid.

Panelists discussed improving the transmission interconnection process at the Energy Bar Association’s Annual Meeting.

MISO is postponing a second attempt at changing its generator interconnection queue rules while it assesses FERC feedback.
