MISO presented stakeholders a long-awaited set of planning futures it insists are final despite calls for an additional scenario that models a downturn stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic.

MISO will use the recommendations of the Coordinated Planning Process Task Team to work on synchronizing the RTO's transmission planning and generator interconnection processes.

MISO will ask FERC to waive its June 25 deadline for developers to demonstrate site control for projects entering MISO South’s 2020 interconnection cycle.

MISO will allow stakeholders an additional month to file their opinions on the RTO’s draft 2021 transmission planning futures scenarios.

Two MISO groups will discuss what the RTO can do to break down walls between the MTEP and network upgrade planning for the generator interconnections.

MISO released draft future scenarios that would reflect the increasingly dominant role clean energy resources will play in its planning process.

MISO will focus on the northern portion of its footprint with two supplemental studies to be included in its 2020 Transmission Expansion Plan cycle.

MISO’s analysis into the Minnesota-Wisconsin export interface constraint could inspire similar studies to solve non-thermal operating limits.

MISO’s 2019 Transmission Expansion Plan will advance to the Board of Directors without any recommended changes tacked on by the Planning Advisory Committee.

MISO’s grid will be only minimally susceptible to the impacts of possible water scarcity in the future, in part because of increased adoption of renewables.
