MISO is assessing the impact of FERC’s recent order reinstating transmission owners’ rights to self-fund network upgrades as renewable proponents worry.

A team convened to examine the cause of a MISO transmission capacity shortfall is seeking input on what measures the RTO could take to support renewables.

In 2019, ERCOT withstood extreme heat and loss of wind power during some of the hottest days to meet multiple demand peaks exceeding the previous year.

FERC directed MISO to submit another Order 845 to clear up its process related to technological advancements, service requests and contingent facilities.

A new task team is considering sequencing parts of MISO’s transmission planning with network upgrades identified in generator interconnection studies.

MISO received approval to require its generation developers to secure land for projects earlier in the interconnection queue over protests from developers.

NYISO’s Management Committee voted unanimously to recommend that the Board of Directors approve Tariff changes to speed up the interconnection process.

FERC ruled six utilities have partially complied with Order 845, an initiative to increase the transparency and speed of the interconnection process.

MISO renewable proponents want to revamp a transmission planning process they say inhibits the development of generation in the western region.

MISO is revising how it handles generator interconnections along its seams with neighboring balancing areas in a bid to satisfy recent FERC mandates.
