MISO revealed yet another twist in its deliberations over two southern Indiana transmission projects, leading some stakeholders to question whether RTO officials are following their planning rules.

Two of three proposed MISO-SPP interregional projects touted to offer $235 million in benefits look much less attractive following additional modeling and are likely doomed.

Nearly two years after joining MISO — and despite a seams spat between the RTO and SPP — Entergy said it is realizing expected cost savings.

News that MISO is reconsidering a market congestion project in Southern Indiana sparked renewed complaints from developers over the RTO’s transmission planning processes.

FERC declined to rehear DTE Electric’s contention that MISO rules put generation developers at a disadvantage in the competition for reliability projects.

MISO stakeholders have submitted recommendations for refining the out-of-cycle request process in the wake of transmission developer complaints.

Stinging from objections to Entergy’s proposed Lake Charles transmission upgrade, MISO has launched discussions that could lead to refinements in its procedures for handling out-of-cycle requests.

More than a decade after the MISO-PJM seam was formed, no cross-border projects have been approved and built, NIPSCO said.

Under questioning from MISO board members, senior RTO officials defended their support for the $200 million controversial out-of-cycle requests by Entergy.

Entergy’s request for a $187 million transmission upgrade near Lake Charles, La., will receive a “full review” by MISO’s board following stakeholder dissent over its classification as an out-of-cycle project.
