MISO and SPP announced a yearlong transmission study to identify projects with “comprehensive, cost-effective and efficient upgrades.”

MISO and SPP regulators are close to asking the RTOs for improvements to transmission operations on their seam as their market monitors wind down a study.

The Organization of MISO States continues to signal its grid operator that regulators are ready for dynamic transmission line ratings in the footprint.

The growth of DER means the MISO grid will become increasingly fraught with planning challenges that require target responses, stakeholders heard.

Regulators in MISO and SPP states are looking into the RTOs’ inability to develop interregional projects intended to relieve congestion across seams.

Stakeholders at the Organization of MISO States’ annual meeting debated the merits of interregional transmission planning between MISO and SPP.

The outgoing president of the Organization of MISO States used his final address to once again press the RTO to develop a long-term transmission plan.

SPP's Seams Steering Comm. discussed the RTO's agreement with MISO and upcoming meetings between the Regional State Comm. and the Org. of MISO States.

MISO is home to more than 4.5 GW of unregistered distributed energy resources, much of it for nonresidential use, the Organization of MISO States estimates.

MISO and SPP regulators are considering an analysis of the interregional planning process to supplement the seams coordination analysis already underway.
