MISO said new queue entries must wait while it takes another swing at imposing an annual megawatt cap on its interconnection queue.

MISO said a riskier operating environment means it needs a more nuanced approach to its regulation reserve requirements.

MISO said after its experience with its first long-range transmission portfolio, it no longer wants to open simple, conductor-only projects to its competitive bidding process.

MISO’s Independent Market Monitor continues to cast doubt on the theoretical benefits estimates of the second long-range transmission projects as the RTO intends to add more projects to the already $17 billion to $23 billion portfolio.

MISO told stakeholders not to expect sweeping, greenfield projects as a result of its new transfer capability study with PJM.

Five years after it introduced rules to curb generators’ uninstructed deviations from dispatch instructions, MISO said such departures are worse than ever and it likely needs to strengthen rules and software.

MISO expects a hot summer and should be able to survive load peaks into the 120-GW range, but the system could be on the brink if a scorching day produces demand near 130 GW.

Because of resource adequacy risks, MISO may need to place tougher requirements on load-modifying resources and devise new, nonemergency means to use load offsets that can't meet new standards.

MISO announced that Nirav Shah, Republic Airways’ former chief information officer and vice president of IT, will serve as its new chief digital and information officer.
