MISO leadership last week committed to holding future talks with stakeholders on how to retool its capacity auction to stimulate more supply.

MISO hopes to fold its stakeholder group dedicated to loss of load estimates into its resource adequacy subcommittee by year’s end, but stakeholders disapprove.

MISO will limit when some resources can use an emergency commitment status outside of emergency conditions, hoping to prod a more available resource fleet.

MISO’s capacity auction shortfall has nearly doubled its probability of load shedding in its Midwest region, prompting discussion of must-offer requirements.

MISO has scrapped its plan for a stakeholder meeting schedule that would have packed all major committee meetings into a single week eight times per year.

Many stakeholders are uneasy with MISO's plan for a seasonal capacity accreditation based on a generating unit’s past performance during tight conditions.

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

Stakeholders want more time to hammer out the details of MISO's four-season capacity auction and seasonal reliability targets.

MISO concluded that its current suite of resource adequacy tools, and the in-progress projects it is working on, enable it to cope with extreme cold snaps.

MISO reiterated the extraordinary nature of mid-February’s winter storm, promising more data later this month and resource adequacy solutions by year-end.
