Southwest Power Pool and MISO continue to study seven potential joint transmission projects across their seam. Next: developing the 2017 joint study.

The MISO and PJM targeted market efficiency project portfolio has dipped from seven projects to five.

At last week's MISO Planning Advisory Committee, stakeholders predicted that the proposed changes to the interconnection queue will face challenges at FERC.

MISO and PJM will have 65 days to evaluate the impact of generator retirements under joint operating agreement language drafted to comply with FERC.

MISO and PJM have nearly completed their work on joint operating agreement and tariff language to create the new targeted market efficiency project (TMEP) type.

MISO and PJM are seeking to hammer out new joint operating agreement (JOA) language that would allow accelerated approval of short-term projects.

MISO and the SPP Seams Steering Committee have ended months of uncertainty by agreeing to a second joint system study.

SPP set yet another wind penetration record, surpassing ERCOT, while the Seams Steering Committee agreed to a joint transmission study with MISO.

The threshold was identified as an obstacle to transmission projects that could ease constraints along the PJM-MISO seam.

MISO and SPP concluded their first joint study process, saying the exercise was a valuable learning experience even though it failed to produce a single interregional project.
