SPP told stakeholders it will have to make decisions on potential interregional projects in the 2019/20 coordinated system plan before hearing from MISO.

SPP and MISO staff and stakeholders recommended performing a coordinated system plan in 2019-20 to study 6 possible sites for transmission projects.

MISO and SPP told stakeholders that there is “more support than not” for the RTOs to conduct a joint study of interregional transmission projects in 2019.

MISO and SPP plan to file a slightly revised version of proposed changes to their JOA aimed at making an interregional transmission project more attainable.

MISO and SPP agreed to file changes to their joint operating agreement that they say will smooth the approval of interregional projects.

MISO and SPP are ready to reform their interregional planning process to improve their shot at producing their first cross-border transmission project.

MISO and PJM will decide this spring whether to take another shot at a two-year coordinated system plan.

MISO and PJM have withdrawn their support for developing the lone efficiency project to emerge from the RTOs’ two-year coordinated system plan.

FERC approved a joint MISO-PJM proposal to create a new category of small interregional transmission projects intended to address historical congestion.
