MISO released details on its long-term transmission plan, intended to adapt its grid to a rapidly evolving generation portfolio.

MISO is wrapping up its 2020 Transmission Expansion Plan and eyeing next year’s planning cycle, with more renewable energy predictions.

MISO members have recommended that the RTO’s 2020 Transmission Expansion Plan proceed to final approval in December.

Two recently announced special transmission planning efforts could have MISO members soon stringing miles of new wires across the footprint.

MISO is putting the final touches on its most expensive annual transmission investment package after a final round of planning meetings.

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.

The MISO Advisory Committee adopted the first set of standards for creating and joining stakeholder sectors and discussed the coordination of transmission planning.

MISO said it foresees hundreds of gigawatts in mostly carbon-free resource additions by 2040, according to its new transmission planning future scenarios.

FERC ordered hearing and settlement procedures on ATSI’s request to recover $154 million, including costs related to its move from MISO to PJM in 2011.
