MISO South states have signaled their intent to strike out on their own on a cost allocation design for long-range transmission projects located exclusively in the South subregion.

MISO predicts it will have anywhere from 383 GW to 454 GW of installed capacity its footprint by 2045, according to a preliminary version of its 20-year planning futures.

Environmental groups are further pressing their opposition to MISO's and SPP’s fast-track studies for primarily fossil fuel projects, challenging both at the D.C. Circuit in a pair of lawsuits.

A MISO board committee advanced 432 projects from transmission owners at a cost of almost $12.3 billion under the RTO’s 2025 Transmission Expansion Plan.

FERC greenlit MISO’s plan to require its demand response to make real-world demand reductions to fulfill the RTO’s testing requirements.

The U.S. Department of Energy has reupped a coal-fired power plant in Michigan for another 90-day operations period, preventing its planned retirement for a third time.

MISO said all four recommendations in the Independent Market Monitor’s 2024 State of the Market Report are likely viable.

MISO announced it will honor a request from Texas regulators and include southeastern Texas in its first long-range transmission study for MISO South.

MISO’s Independent Market Monitor said a MISO South September transmission emergency shows the RTO needs a better handle on constraint management within its markets.

MISO signaled an openness to alter its 31-day planned outage rule for units that signed up to be capacity resources.
