Stakeholders have several lingering questions as MISO continues to draw up a “zero-injection” avenue for large loads with planned on-site generation.

Stakeholders told MISO that it might have anticipated an impending cost increase for a long-range transmission project in the works in Minnesota that jumped about 43% in price to nearly $1.4 billion.

After nine years, MISO will close out its multiphase market platform replacement project, leaving a bulk of unfinished work on its real-time market.

MISO is registering and accrediting resources to meet a roughly 2-GW uptick in load for the 2026/27 planning year.

Earthjustice accused Meta of deliberately executing an unsanctioned financial arrangement to underwrite its planned, multibillion-dollar data center in northern Louisiana and asked the Public Service Commission to investigate.

The Union of Concerned Scientists said MISO’s most devastating power outages in the last decade can be attributed to an increasingly unstable climate and compounding weather events.

Illinois became the 13th state to adopt a procurement target for storage after Gov. JB Pritzker signed a new bill aimed at shoring up reliability and affordability.

Just days into 2026, MISO already has approved or recommended dozens of expedited transmission projects for the 2026 cycle, including a substation project in Indiana that spawned several hundred million dollars in corrective action upgrades.

MISO announced it will partner with Microsoft’s AI technologies to operate its markets and plan its system.
