MISO’s Reliability Subcommittee will next year examine whether the RTO’s footprint is suffering from an excess of load-modifying resources.

Energy storage systems will inevitably take hold in MISO as costs decline, but the outlook for technologies outside lithium-ion batteries is less certain.

MISO’s Board of Directors unanimously approved the 2019 MISO Transmission Expansion Plan (MTEP 19) - a $4 billion portfolio consisting of 480 projects.

MISO’s Advisory Committee has decided not to pursue changes to how the RTO vets and selects its Board of Directors after more than a year of discussion.

MISO’s Board of Directors will remain unchanged heading after the same chairman and three incumbent directors were elected to retain their positions.

MISO avoided maximum generation alerts and events this fall despite dealing with record-breaking temperature swings in its southern footprint.

MISO stakeholders debated whether the RTO is being too conservative in anticipating industry shifts in its new futures scenarios for transmission planning.

A new task team is considering sequencing parts of MISO’s transmission planning with network upgrades identified in generator interconnection studies.

MISO says it will look to make improvements to the capacity testing process after sifting through results from its generators and discovering errors.

MISO received approval to require its generation developers to secure land for projects earlier in the interconnection queue over protests from developers.
