Some load-serving entities and southern regulators are criticizing MISO’s efforts to create its first long-term regional resource assessment.

MISO staff said project withdrawals from its record-setting 150-GW interconnection queue are imminent.

Entergy said it could either sell its New Orleans unit, merge it with Entergy Louisiana or step out of the way as New Orleans navigates a municipal utility.

When it emerges from the worst of the pandemic, MISO wants to limit its in-person stakeholder committee schedule to eight in-person meeting weeks per year.

MISO this week said it’ll give stakeholders more time — but not much — to get comfortable with four seasonal capacity auctions.
