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.

After prodding by stakeholders, MISO says it will boost renewable generation estimates in each of the four 15-year future scenarios that guide its annual transmission planning process.

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 will take another crack at identifying a project that could provide an alternative to the constrained transmission path linking its North and South regions.

MISO is considering moving ahead with a plan to streamline its report detailing the projects in its annual Transmission Expansion Plan beginning this year.

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 plans to revamp its annual MTEP report to emphasize the justifications and analyses behind proposed projects while removing some planning process narratives.

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

MISO will this year draw on three sets of contributors to create its load forecast for 2020 transmission planning.
