MISO and several stakeholders came to the defense of the RTO’s $21.8 billion, 24-project long-range transmission plan portfolio for the Midwest as five Republican states seek to repeal the projects’ approval.

MISO asked FERC for a month to prepare a defense of its second long-range transmission portfolio, which is being challenged by five state commissions in the footprint.

Five state public service commissions have banded together to request that FERC order a recasting of MISO’s long-range transmission projects, arguing the projects aren’t as beneficial as MISO has advertised.

FERC granted rate incentives for the priciest project to come out of MISO’s 2024 Transmission Expansion Plan, setting off friction between commissioners.

SPP filed bylaw amendments at FERC to place seven Western entities under its tariff that, if approved, will make the RTO the first grid operator with markets in both major interconnections.

FERC accepted SPP’s proposed tariff revisions modifying Central Power Electric Cooperative’s formula rate template but suspended them for a nominal period subject to refund and established hearing and settlement procedures.
