MISO shut down the prospect of allowing non-transmission owners to operate storage-as-transmission assets in the RTO’s initial ruleset for the resources.

The MISO Planning Advisory Committee will vote on a DTE Energy proposal to broaden the scope of the RTO’s storage-as-transmission assets initiative.

MISO's Steering Committee instructed the Planning Advisory Committee to revisit non-transmission owners operating storage-as-transmission assets.

MISO released draft Tariff language that would allow energy storage resources to compete for projects in the RTO’s annual Transmission Expansion Plan.

MISO CEO John Bear opened GCPA’s MISO South Regional Conference with the RTO’s strategic initiatives and the five “500-year” storms it has experienced.

MISO will allow energy storage to compete against all types of transmission projects, scrapping an earlier condition that limited its use.

MISO and stakeholders are hoping to complete policies allowing storage to qualify as transmission for the RTO’s 2019 Transmission Expansion Plan.

MISO will spend much of 2019 working on how it can prevent the increasingly frequent emergency conditions it experienced in 2018.

MISO officials are still hashing out how they can best model and analyze energy storage-as- transmission in the RTO’s transmission planning process.

A MISO workshop on energy storage as transmission made clear how much the technology is blurring the once clear lines between generation and transmission.
