MISO and its transmission owners defended their practice of allowing TOs to self-fund network upgrades necessary to bring generation online before developers get the chance to finance them.

States, RTOs and others warned DOE not to let transmission developers dominate the development of National Interest Electric Transmission Corridors.

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

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

FERC denied rehearing requests from transmission providers and others on Order 881.

FERC said a MISO transmission owner cannot duck refunds stemming from the commission’s recent decision to implement a 10.02% return on equity.
