FERC Commissioner Neil Chatterjee told an EBA webinar that the RTO stakeholder processes on Order 2222 compliance will be interesting to watch.

MISO will ask FERC for more time to plan the complicated process of opening its markets to distributed energy resource aggregators, RTO officials said.

Stakeholders asked MISO for simpler interconnection studies during the inaugural meeting of The Distributed Energy Resources Task Force.

MISO members say the grid operator needs both hard work and new faces to comply with FERC’s distributed energy directive, Order 2222.

Seeking to open communication channels with their distribution utilities, MISO staff held a special workshop to prepare for FERC Order 2222.

MISO is gearing up to draft rules before it welcomes thousands of DER aggregations into its markets in response to FERC Order 2222.

FERC ordered RTOs and ISOs to open their markets to distributed energy resource aggregations now largely limited to providing demand response.

MISO is stepping up efforts to understand how markets will function with the possible participation of heavy concentrations of distributed energy resources.

FERC approved NYISO’s proposal to allow aggregations of distributed energy resources to participate in its markets.

MISO may have to devise new lines of communication, rethink its data management and alter dispatch rules to give DERs access to its markets.
