Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO)
SPP’s state regulators agreed on revisions to a package of recommendations, including one that prioritizes resolving rate pancaking.
MISO said its members collectively saved about $3.5 billion in 2020 for choosing RTO membership over going it alone on the grid.
ERCOT said that enough generation had returned to service to stop the rotating outages that began Feb. 15.
FERC approved unexecuted facilities service agreements for three NextEra Energy wind projects that refused to complete the FSAs in protest of a 2018 order.
ERCOT leadership made it clear that it is fully committed to restoring power to the millions of Texans spending their fourth night shivering in the dark.
MISO members narrowly approved new stakeholder removal provisions despite concerns that the rules give the RTO too much latitude.
The inability of Midwestern grid operators to recover quickly from extreme winter weather drew customer anger, along with scrutiny from regulators.
SPP joined ERCOT in initiating rolling blackouts Monday as the entire Midwest experiences an unprecedented winter storm.
Extreme winter weather has placed much of the country’s heartland in a deep freeze and has MISO, SPP and ERCOT scrambling to meet anticipated record demand.
MISO is seeking ways to modify its annual transmission plan and make it easier for stakeholders to suggest alternatives to TOs’ project proposals.
