FERC affirmed METC's 138-kV Morenci transmission project is a local distribution facility that should not be included in MISO's annual transmission plan.

MISO is mounting a third attempt to gain FERC approval to overhaul the cost allocation design for economic transmission projects after previous rejections.

MISO will use the recommendations of the Coordinated Planning Process Task Team to work on synchronizing the RTO's transmission planning and generator interconnection processes.

Two market efficiency projects approved by MISO face continued obstacles, while two others slated for inclusion in MTEP 19 must wait longer for approval.

MISO will allow stakeholders an additional month to file their opinions on the RTO’s draft 2021 transmission planning futures scenarios.

Fresh off approval for one change to its interconnection process, MISO is looking for ways to advance generation projects more quickly through its queue.

The growth of DER means the MISO grid will become increasingly fraught with planning challenges that require target responses, stakeholders heard.

Two MISO groups will discuss what the RTO can do to break down walls between the MTEP and network upgrade planning for the generator interconnections.

MISO released draft future scenarios that would reflect the increasingly dominant role clean energy resources will play in its planning process.

MISO’s industrial and transmission customers have banded together for a complaint against the cost allocation plan for baseline reliability projects.
