FERC officials told the ACORE Policy Forum that RTO transmission planning rules must be revised to support reliability and the flood of renewable generation.

MISO members said the RTO should position itself as a liaison to help stakeholders access project funding from the nation’s recent infrastructure bill.

MISO’s ongoing market platform replacement project is focusing on a one-stop model manager, new energy management system and day-ahead market clearing engine.

MISO leadership met with staff from Memphis Light, Gas, and Water, who are mulling a split with the Tennessee Valley Authority.

MISO's sprawling, long-range transmission portfolio now stands at $10.4 billion.

At a quarterly review of markets, MISO said an increasingly precarious load-supply balance is here to stay.

MISO has again pushed back the date it will recommend $13 billion dollars’ worth of long-range transmission projects to its board of directors.

Vistra said that its board of directors has named current CFO Jim Burke as its next CEO effective Aug. 1, replacing Curt Morgan after a transition period.

MISO is seeking final stakeholder opinions before it makes an April filing to comply with FERC’s directive that RTOs open wholesale markets to DER aggregations.

In comments on a FERC technical conference, NERC said it welcomes market-based enhancements to the reliability of the power grid.
