A Southern Co. official gamely defended the Southeast Energy Exchange Market in a debate at the RE+ Southeast conference with three RTO proponents.

About 300 regulators and industry representatives met at the Southeast Renewable Energy conference to discuss the region’s efforts to attract solar power.

A former FERC commissioner, along with other stakeholders, say MISO has allowed itself to be led by Entergy in long-term transmission planning.

Environmental groups say TVA is blocking them from meaningful participation at quarterly board meetings as they call for brisker decarbonization plans.

Louisiana and Mississippi joined MISO and its TOs in opposing LS Power’s campaign for regional cost sharing of transmission projects down to 100 kV.

The Mississippi Public Service Commission is using an audit of MISO membership to question whether Entergy Mississippi should remain among the RTO’s membership, attracting blunt criticism from several renewable energy organizations.

The Energy and Policy Institute alleges that Entergy and the Mississippi PSC improperly collaborate in the MISO stakeholder process.

MISO reiterated the extraordinary nature of mid-February’s winter storm, promising more data later this month and resource adequacy solutions by year-end.

Tensions have been building among MISO stakeholders over what some perceive as an undercover Entergy plant in stakeholder meetings.

Entergy Mississippi scored a victory in an 11 year rate battle brought by the former attorney general, who claimed the utility overcharged customers.
