MISO is conducting a check-in with stakeholders to gauge whether its market design guiding principles are still valid in a changing industry.

MISO doesn’t believe autumn will prove much trouble for it to tackle, though it faces a capacity shortfall in Missouri.

MISO said stakeholders have convinced it to design an off switch on its proposed $10,000/MWh value of lost load to use during extended load-shedding events.

MISO’s Market Subcommittee will assist MISO in drafting tariff requirements to discourage market participants from committing fraud in MISO’s demand response market.

Five years after it introduced rules to curb generators’ uninstructed deviations from dispatch instructions, MISO said such departures are worse than ever and it likely needs to strengthen rules and software.

MISO says its extensive analysis shows its current $3,500/MWh value of lost load should be raised to $10,000/MWh.

MISO’s Market Subcommittee likely will discuss either a multiday gas purchase requirement or a multiday gas unit commitment process for use during extreme cold.

MISO said it will file by the end of the month to scrap a clunky and all-but-abandoned generator offer style from its tariff.

MISO dodged the need for emergency procedures during a mid-January cold blast that brought consecutive days of subzero temperatures to the Midwest.

MISO plans to handle four of the five recommendations from the Independent Market Monitor’s State of the Market report, putting on hold a recommendation regarding transmission planning.
