A former FERC commissioner, along with other stakeholders, say MISO has allowed itself to be led by Entergy in long-term transmission planning.

MISO's interconnection queue currently stands at a record-breaking 153 GW after the RTO processed 2021 applicants. 

Entergy has pushed back on the notion that sturdier transmission or more solar panels would have helped Louisiana's grid better withstand Hurricane Ida. 

RTOs and ISOs described their strategies for using quick ramping products to offset weather-dependent renewable resources at a FERC conference Tuesday.

The Illinois Senate approved legislation putting the state on a path to 100% carbon-free electric generation and bailing out two Exelon nuclear plants.

A new report says wind and solar projects in MISO’s and SPP’s generator interconnection queues are being asked to pay the bill when connecting to the grid.

The Illinois House approved Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s massive Energy Transition Act, sending the bill back to the Senate for expected concurrence on Monday.

Illinois lawmakers continue to debate a landmark energy bill aimed at fighting climate change ahead of a Sept. 13 to save the Byron nuclear plant.

Experts say the electric grid needs heartier construction, new technology and microgrids to reduce outages from increasingly common severe weather events.

Stakeholders unhappy with MISO's proposal to create seasonal capacity auctions and resource accreditation can vote for a yearlong delay on the plan.
