MISO officials say they will follow through on most recommendations in its Independent Market Monitor’s 2017 State of the Market report.

MISO’s IMM urged the RTO to require that planning resources have firm transmission to ensure they can deliver their full installed capacity.

MISO offered its energy storage participation proposal for final stakeholder inspection while promising to introduce more new market rules in the future.

MISO says the time is not yet ripe for creating a detailed solar capacity credit process.

The Resource Adequacy Subcommittee allowed MISO to use last year’s capacity export limit for Missouri’s Zone 5 after the RTO could not identify the limit.

MISO laid out a more detailed proposal for how it will determine the capacity accreditation of energy storage resources under FERC Order 841.

MISO, commited to moving forward, said it plans to refile a plan to create external capacity resource zones with FERC by the end of the month.

MISO outlined the range of stakeholder feedback it has received since revealing its straw proposal for energy storage resources in June.

At last week's MISO Resource Adequacy Subcommittee meeting, staff reviewed how capacity import limits can bind in the RTO's annual capacity auction.

MISO’s Market Monitor floated a plan that would allow resources that are unavailable for the full planning year to offer into the RTO’s capacity auction.
