MISO Independent Market Monitor David Patton addressed the recent controversy surrounding his longstanding criticism of MISO’s latest, $22-billion long-range transmission portfolio at the Organization of MISO States’ Resource Adequacy Summit.

Stakeholders asked FERC to force MISO to cut or dilute some of the harsher requirements of its proposed demand response participation and accreditation package.

Regulators of MISO states are mulling whether they should work together to offer up an entirely new cost allocation for the RTO’s long-range transmission projects.

The Organization of MISO States advised MISO that it needs a central data-sharing platform for the participation of DER aggregators in its wholesale market.

Protests and endorsements have turned up in response to MISO’s second attempt with FERC to annually cap project submittals to its interconnection queue based on a megawatt value.

MISO will waste no time in 2025 trying to blunt the threat of a shortage that could arrive in the summer months by encouraging new generation and enacting further resource adequacy measures.

MISO hopes to file a proposal in February to create an exclusive, faster route through its interconnection queue for generation projects that are key to maintaining resource adequacy.

By the Organization of MISO States’ count, MISO is up to nearly 13.6 GW of distributed energy resources in the footprint.

The Organization of MISO States and Organization of PJM States Inc. have sent a second letter to MISO and PJM emphasizing the need for vigorous interregional transmission planning.
