MISO and SPP have asked FERC for a temporary departure from sections of their joint operating agreement to be able to conduct a more comprehensive interregional planning study to land on mutually beneficial transmission projects.

MISO and SPP staff told stakeholders that they will not perform a Coordinated System Plan in 2025 but will accept transmission issues for their annual review early in the year.

MISO wants FERC to reconsider its decision to let a jointly managed flowgate with SPP stand, with the RTO arguing the North Dakota cryptomining facility burdening the line is SPP’s responsibility alone.

MISO has registered a separate complaint with FERC to retract market-to-market coordination with SPP on a contentious flowgate persistently taxed by a North Dakota cryptocurrency mining operation.

SPP, MISO and its Independent Market Monitor are at odds over how congestion should be managed on a market-to-market flowgate taxed by a cryptocurrency mining operation within SPP’s borders.

Montana-Dakota Utilities filed a complaint against MISO and SPP over a market-to-market flowgate chronically congested by a new cryptocurrency mining operation in SPP.

NYISO’s budget would increase 2.5% next year but the rate schedule charge will increase 5.6% because of a forecasted drop in throughput.

NYISO secured Business Issues Committee approval of the ISO’s proposal to create separate capacity demand curves for summer and winter beginning with the 2025/2026 capability year.

Parties filing comments with FERC on expanding interregional transfer capability mostly supported the concept, though opinions were split on how to get there.

FERC reversed course and said MISO, SPP and PJM don’t have to rely on eachother’s dispatch assumptions to carry out an affected-system study.
