The Organization of MISO States is reviewing and revising its decision document — the rules for approving position statements submitted to MISO and FERC.

Last updated in 2009, the document describes the group’s guidelines for creating issue statements, discussing and voting on issues, and filing comments.

An ad-hoc working group has been modifying the document in a “half-dozen” conference calls, Public Service Commission of Wisconsin administrator Janet Wheeler told a June 16 meeting of the OMS board.

The group will hold at least one more meeting the last week of June to finalize the document, which will be presented for board approval in July.

OMS President Reacts to Survey Results

OMS President Sally Talberg spoke with the board about the recently released OMS-MISO survey results, which indicate the RTO may face a generation shortfall in 2018. (See OMS-MISO Survey: Generation Shortfall Possible by 2018.)

Talberg noted the 2018 outlook would have been “gloomier” if not for the fact that MISO load growth and demand are down for the second year in a row.

OMS Looking for New Employees

OMS is seeking to hire a director of member services and advocacy and a part-time office assistant in its Des Moines office. Resumes will be accepted until July 1.
