FERC approved MISO’s Transmission Owners’ request to eliminate reactive power compensation for generators, cutting a $220 million annual revenue requirement.

The Solar Energy Industries Association lodged a complaint at FERC against MISO’s practice of blocking intermittent resources from its ancillary service market.

ALLETE and Grid United are teaming up to build a first-of-its-kind line that would span across interconnections and through three electric regions.

MISO planners emphasized that its hypothetical map of projects is not what a final second portfolio could look like under its long-range transmission planning.

SREA said Duke Carolinas' and TVA's holiday blackouts were likely avoidable had they built robust transmission links and had better access to organized markets.

MISO and SPP said they plan to treat Joint Targeted Interconnection Queue projects as large generator interconnection projects when allocating costs.

Researchers at Berkeley Lab say growing renewable generation mean it’s likely time to retool the design of financial transmission rights in wholesale markets.

MISO remains set on limiting transmission congestion by instituting a lower system impact threshold on interconnecting generation.

SPP and MISO plan to apply for grants from the Department of Energy to help fund five transmission projects recently identified in their JTIQ work.
