The Upper Midwest needs more transmission, more technology and preservation of dispatchable generation for reliability, the CapX2050 study concluded.

MISO predicts energy usage this spring will peak at 100 GW in May, with about 134 GW of total capacity available.

MISO is preparing to make two resource adequacy filings with FERC aimed at making its capacity resources more readily available.

NextEra subsidiaries appealed a ruling that upheld a Texas law giving incumbent transmission companies the right of first refusal to build power lines.

A report from MISO concludes stakeholders will need to quickly adjust the RTO’s capacity construct to accommodate a resource mix dominated by renewables.
