MISO stakeholders are concerned over the RTO’s generator retirement proposal, saying it could result in conflicts over transmission interconnection service rights.

FERC approved the MISO proposed cost recovery schedules for its new category of smaller interregional transmission projects with PJM.

MISO challenged a 2017 NERC assessment that found two areas in the RTO would challenges during a disruption of natural gas delivery.

The U.S. Justice Department said that a Minnesota law granting in-state transmission owners rights of first refusal on grid additions is unconstitutional.

FERC approved the MISO proposal to shorten the window of time it allows for altering estimated capacity volumes for projects in the interconnection queue.

MISO said it has concluded that a short-term capacity reserve product would be cost-effective and beneficial to reliability.

MISO is switching gears on a previous proposal to discontinue its practice of forecasting long-term capacity import and export limits.

Industry experts talked about the trends dictating new energy infrastructure at a Midwest Energy Policy Series panel hosted by the Missouri Energy Initiative.

MISO reported clearing 135 GW of capacity, with nine of its 10 local resource zones clearing at $10/MW-day.

MISO Chairman Michael Curran last week denied an RTO Insider story quoting him as saying that the RTO should “burn down” the 3,000-MW limit on flows between its North and South regions if necessary to prevent load shedding.
