MISO is resisting clean energy developers’ calls to allow penalty-free queue withdrawals for generation projects bogged down by SPP’s affected system studies.

Clean Grid Alliance asked MISO to consider penalty-fee withdraws for advanced-stage interconnection projects saddled with expensive network upgrade costs.

FERC has approved MISO's and SPP’s plan to assign a new prioritization of projects in their respective interconnection queues for study purposes.

Clean Grid Alliance asked MISO to develop a means to see late-stage projects through its generator interconnection queue when they’re delayed.

A summary of the issues scheduled to be brought to a vote at the PJM Markets and Reliability Committee and Members Committee meetings on April 27.

Rising natural gas prices and extreme weather pushed wholesale electricity prices higher in 2021, FERC said in its annual State of the Markets report.

MISO has FERC permission to whittle its generator interconnection from more than 500 days to a single year for some willing interconnection customers.

MISO plans to alter some interconnection rules so that generation owners can more easily replace generation at the same point of interconnection.

Members praised work done by PJM in the stakeholder process in the development of new rules for the interconnection process.

ISO-NE stakeholders approved tariff changes that incorporate a new transmission planning process focused beyond the RTO’s current 10-year planning horizon.
