SPP regulators agreed to keep up their collaboration with MISO regulators, saying the effort is pressuring the RTOs to resolve their seams issues.

MISO will draw on its new planning futures to build the first set of models that could result in the long-term transmission plan’s first projects.

SPP and MISO regulators would like to see the RTOs improve seams relations by resolving rate pancaking and adding a smaller interregional project category.

In 2020 MISO managed remotely, redefining reliability standards, reorganizing its capacity market and launching a long-term transmission planning effort.

MISO state regulators debated what to include in a list of guidance principles on transmission project cost allocation they will send to the RTO.

MISO members say the grid operator needs both hard work and new faces to comply with FERC’s distributed energy directive, Order 2222.

MISO is gearing up to draft rules before it welcomes thousands of DER aggregations into its markets in response to FERC Order 2222.

The heads of MISO and SPP stood on common ground to discuss seams issues during the Organization of MISO States annual meeting.

MISO and SPP state regulators appear intent on completing their work to improve their interregional coordination before 2021 arrives.

MISO’s and SPP’s market monitors presented their last report to state regulators working to improve the RTOs’ interregional coordination.
