MISO will press on with its pared-down stakeholder meeting cadence for the remainder of the year.

MISO’s resource adequacy stakeholder group is starting the new year by tackling new capacity accreditations for renewable and energy storage resources.

When it emerges from the worst of the pandemic, MISO wants to limit its in-person stakeholder committee schedule to eight in-person meeting weeks per year.

Stakeholders unhappy with MISO's proposal to create seasonal capacity auctions and resource accreditation can vote for a yearlong delay on the plan. 

MISO plans to subdivide its annual capacity auction by seasons to better manage reliability risks caused by renewables’ growing share of the resource mix.

MISO will suspend updates on its resource availability and need project through November to allow time for analysis that may drive future draft rules.

For the first time, MISO has found a loss-of-load risk outside of summer months, and said it may be more evidence for seasonal capacity supplies.

MISO’s IMM urged the RTO to require that planning resources have firm transmission to ensure they can deliver their full installed capacity.

MISO says the time is not yet ripe for creating a detailed solar capacity credit process.

MISO laid out a more detailed proposal for how it will determine the capacity accreditation of energy storage resources under FERC Order 841.
