MISO and SPP shared the Joint Targeted Interconnection Queue study's first draft, with seven projects that would resolve several transmission constraints.

SPP stakeholders endorsed the RTO’s latest transmission planning assessment but also withheld approval of a 345-kV, double-circuit project in West Texas.

MISO said its proposal to conduct transmission cost allocation separately for the South and Midwest regions is likely to be in place for up to four years.

MISO is testing a new cost-sharing plan for members that use the regional transfer limit linking its Midwest and South regions.
