A U.S. senator is urging FERC to support MISO’s proposal to transfer interconnection rights for generators that have been retired, demolished or replaced.

The city of Wilmington, Del., will be retired as the meeting site for the Markets and Reliability and the Members committees, PJM stakeholders agreed.

FERC rejected MISO’s proposal to impose more stringent requirements for interconnection customers, but could be persuaded to accept with certain revisions.

MISO confirmed it will work with stakeholders to develop a fast-track option to accelerate the process for projects ready for development.

MISO is considering a fast-track process for “shovel-ready” generation projects in response to criticism its rules don’t work for renewables, which now represent almost 90% of the RTO’s interconnection queue.

SPP stakeholders approved changes to the RTO’s generator interconnection process to simplify what had become a burdensome process involving repetitive data.

MISO will spend much of 2019 working on how it can prevent the increasingly frequent emergency conditions it experienced in 2018.

MISO will file a proposal to revise its interconnection queue process by implementing stringent site control requirements and increasing milestone payments.

A MISO workshop on energy storage as transmission made clear how much the technology is blurring the once clear lines between generation and transmission.

FERC rejected rehearing requests from wind developers who say MISO is moving too slowly for them to meet the PTC deadline.
