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

A panel convened by the American Council on Renewable Energy largely agreed that MISO’s transmission benefits process could be a blueprint for the country.

MISO and SPP say they have plenty of constrained flowgates that could become candidates for smaller, cross-border transmission projects.

Illinois’ climate goals could cost other states in PJM and MISO tens of millions in transmission upgrades as coal and natural gas power plants are retired.

State regulatory staff and MISO executives found no easy answers to solve a burgeoning reliability crisis after converging for a resource adequacy summit.

The battle over MISO transmission owners’ return on equity continued with the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals vacating FERC’s order setting the rate at 10.02%.

FERC failed to consider the impact of potential rate increases when it allowed LG&E/KU to partially exit market power mitigation, the D.C. Circuit ruled.

Stakeholders are concerned over the comments MISO plans to submit on FERC’s recently proposed transmission planning rule.

Xcel Energy praised both the MISO long-range transmission plan and the late-breaking agreement over the $670 billion Inflation Reduction Act.

MISO received FERC permission to exclude certain transmission projects from competitive bidding eligibility.
