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.

MISO and SPP staff told stakeholders that they will not perform a Coordinated System Plan in 2025 but will accept transmission issues for their annual review early in the year.

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.

FERC dismissed separate complaints from MISO and Montana-Dakota Utilities Co. over a MISO-SPP flowgate chronically stressed by a North Dakota cryptocurrency mining operation.

MISO has registered a separate complaint with FERC to retract market-to-market coordination with SPP on a contentious flowgate persistently taxed by a North Dakota cryptocurrency mining operation.

SPP, MISO and its Independent Market Monitor are at odds over how congestion should be managed on a market-to-market flowgate taxed by a cryptocurrency mining operation within SPP’s borders.

Montana-Dakota Utilities filed a complaint against MISO and SPP over a market-to-market flowgate chronically congested by a new cryptocurrency mining operation in SPP.

MISO and its Independent Market Monitor agree legal action is likely concerning the RTO’s payments to SPP for a market-to-market flowgate.

Canadian utility SaskPower and SPP have signed a 20-year agreement to more than quadruple transmission capacity between the two entities.

SPP staff added details to a joint proposal with MISO for replacing their affected systems study process with interregional transmission analyses.
