FERC issued deficiency letters to all six jurisdictional RTOs and ISOs over their proposed energy storage rules, pressing for definitions, tariff citations and other details.

The SPP-MISO Joint Planning Committee has voted to begin a new coordinated system plan this year, SPP staff told the RTO’s Seams Steering Committee.

FERC conditionally accepted MISO’s address to an inherent conflict within its Tariff related to the termination of generator interconnection agreements.

MISO must flesh out more details around its already lengthy proposal for allowing energy storage resources to participate in its markets, FERC said.

FERC granted MISO permission to implement the remaining two proposals in its three-part short-term resource availability and need project.

NERC offered lessons from firefighters, psychologists and the airline industry at its eighth annual Human Performance Conference.

MISO may have to contend with security concerns and the phaseout of the vertically integrated utility model as it strives to manage a grid with more DERs.

MISO will attempt to divide its ongoing market platform replacement into a series of smaller agreements with vendors rather than one large contract.

Stakeholders gave MISO leadership mixed signals on what they expect from seams policy, though they agreed the RTO shouldn’t strive for exacting consistency in how it deals with different neighbors.

MISO’s most recent maximum generation emergency is yet another portent of its increasing need to rethink grid operations, execs told the Board of Directors.
