MISO said its next capacity auction in spring 2026 will feature more rigorous testing for its demand response that registers to provide capacity.

After years of its Independent Market Monitor critiquing MISO for making too many out-of-market actions to tame congestion, the IMM congratulated the RTO for dramatically reducing such actions.

ACP released a report produced by The Brattle Group laying out how organized markets can replicate the success CAISO and ERCOT have had in deploying energy storage resources.

MISO’s proposal to use a temporary “fast lane” in its interconnection queue to speed up necessary resource additions would give utility-owned generation preferential treatment, according to protesters’ comments filed with FERC.

MISO announced it will scrap its plan to use an existing DR participation category to get aggregators of DERs participating on a limited basis a few years ahead of a full Order 2222 rollout in 2030.

FERC gave MISO the go-ahead to set its value of lost load at $10,000/MWh by early fall, nearly three times as high as the current $3,500/MWh value.

Attendees at the Electric Power Supply Association’s Competitive Power Summit discussed how markets are responding to rapid demand growth.

MISO and SPP staff asked for input on a joint system study in 2025 during their annual transmission issues evaluation with their Interregional Planning Stakeholder Advisory Committee, which was only too happy to comply.

A new Brattle report puts a spotlight on the Southeast as the only major U.S. region without thorough transmission planning and recommends it develop a portfolio of projects or risk failing to keep up with the times.

MISO’s real-time energy prices in February 2025 nearly doubled from a year earlier as the footprint saw higher load and gas prices.
