MISO and SPP announced that they will not pursue any small interregional projects next year from their first Targeted Market Efficiency Project study.

In a workshop, FERC commissioners and stakeholders debated the pros and cons of requiring minimum transfer capability between regions to promote reliability.

MISO and SPP have again come up empty in their fifth effort to find interregional projects to solve congestion along their seams.

MISO reported a later completion of its market platform replacement and added two new members while members installed new Advisory Committee leadership.

MISO members agreed that the future generation mix is arriving faster than previously thought during a “mind the gap” Advisory Committee discussion Dec. 7.

MISO gave its board a first look at its contentious concept map of line ideas under the second phase of its long-range transmission plan.

MISO mostly sailed through fall, encountering rough patches only when unseasonably warm weather clashed with generator maintenance season.

Months before MISO debuts a seasonal capacity auction, its IMM said he has uncovered a faulty assumption behind the seasonal capacity requirements.

MISO transmission owners have filed with FERC to eliminate all reactive power and voltage control charges from their own and affiliated generation resources.

MISO said its members may need to build up to 200 GW in new installed capacity by 2041 to meet reserve requirements while achieving renewable targets.
