MISO is not resting after FERC recently accepted its transmission cost allocation plan, promising more such work on long-term and interregional projects.

MISO’s Board of Directors is expected next month to approve MISO and PJM’s first major interregional transmission project.

FERC approved new rules likely to reduce load-modifying resources’ capacity accreditation in MISO, despite several protests from RTO members.

MISO is juggling several transmission planning activities as it faces a cascade of new gigawatts in its interconnection queue.

MISO’s first rule set for storage resources functioning as transmission assets passed muster with FERC, though James Danly opposed the plan.

MISO is once again evaluating the effectiveness of the rules behind its scarcity pricing just three years after shelving a similar effort.

The MISO stakeholder community appears to support the RTO’s plan to extend the current arrangement on Midwest and South transmission flows.

MISO said it will begin hunting for solutions to mitigate the gap between LMRs that clear capacity auctions and what actually happens in emergencies.

FERC asked MISO to remove or defend its requirement that distribution utilities and load-serving entities report real-time grid injections and withdrawals to be compliant with Order 841.

MISO said it quickly regained control during its first maximum generation emergency July 7 during a lasting heatwave.
