MISO state regulators are considering asking the RTO to keep tabs on resource adequacy risk indicators as they contemplate crafting a replacement standard in the footprint.

Members of the Organization of MISO States sent a letter to contradict aspects of NERC’s Long-Term Reliability Assessment, disputing the ERO’s label of MISO as being at “high risk.”

MISO officials clarified the J.H. Campbell coal plant — kept online and in retirement limbo by the Department of Energy’s series of emergency orders — is not eligible for the RTO’s capacity market and is not receiving special treatment for dispatch.

The Organization of MISO States is warning NERC that its possible new resource adequacy standard would tread on states’ planning authority.

The Organization of MISO States estimates MISO is up to approximately 16.6 GW of distributed energy resources across its footprint, up 3 GW from 2024.

MISO’s Advisory Committee will continue to be led by its vice chair through the end of 2025 after the departure of Sarah Freeman from Indiana’s regulatory agency.

At a time when MISO’s long-term planning is under fire, the Organization of MISO States’ annual meeting featured speakers who vouched for the power of planning.

Members of the Organization of MISO States are divided on whether the organization should register comments in a FERC complaint that could fundamentally change the way MISO can plan its long-view transmission.

Half of the Organization of MISO States have challenged the Department of Energy’s directive to keep the J.H. Campbell coal plant in Michigan operating through late August.
