A cycle of generation projects in MISO’s Central planning region has accrued a whopping $2 billion in upgrades in order to connect to the transmission system.
FERC last week ushered through three more unexecuted facilities service agreements (FSAs) between MISO, wind developers and transmission owners. The unexecuted FSAs are a continuing protest against a 2018 commission order reinstating MISO transmission owners’ unilateral rights to self-fund network upgrades. Wind developers are leaving FSAs unsigned of late, hoping...
FERC on Thursday approved unexecuted facilities service agreements (FSAs) for three NextEra Energy wind projects that refused to complete the FSAs in protest of a 2018 order reinstating MISO transmission owners’ rights to self-fund network upgrades.

But renewable proponents argue the plan wouldn’t do much for developers...
MISO West won’t be the site of pricey buildouts in this year’s transmission planning cycle, despite complaints from critics that renewables in the region’s interconnection queue necessitate billions in grid upgrades.
