MISO said after its experience with its first long-range transmission portfolio, it no longer wants to open simple, conductor-only projects to its competitive bidding process.

MISO has awarded  an Ameren subsidiary the lead in building the second competitively bid project stemming from its $10 billion long-range transmission plan.

MISO announced it will reanalyze the controversial Hartburg-Sabine Junction transmission project in East Texas for a fresh look at its effectiveness.

MISO is wagering that proposed rule changes will cut down on the time and expenses spent evaluating transmission proposals.

MISO said it has selected NextEra Energy Transmission Midwest to construct the Hartburg-Sabine junction project, wrapping up months of evaluation.

MISO announced it has 12 complete proposals from 9 developers seeking to construct and own the Hartburg-Sabine Junction 500-kV transmission project.

MISO has opened a bidding window for its second-ever competitive transmission solicitation, a process required under FERC Order 1000. 

PJM has begun discussing the role and significance of cost-containment assurances in bids for transmission projects under FERC’s Order 1000.

FERC is giving until Sept. 2 to provide comments on recommended changes to Order 1000 following a June technical conference.
