MISO said that it will skip over the participation of small DER aggregations in its FERC Order 2222 compliance plan in order to simplify the market design.

FERC approved requests by MISO, SPP and PJM to delay their Order 2222 compliance filings by up to nine months.

FERC reversed its ruling giving state regulators power to prevent demand response from participating in DER aggregations.

FERC’s directive to open wholesale markets to aggregations of DERs is forcing states to consider more holistic system planning.

FERC Commissioner Neil Chatterjee told an EBA webinar that the RTO stakeholder processes on Order 2222 compliance will be interesting to watch.

MISO will ask FERC for more time to plan the complicated process of opening its markets to distributed energy resource aggregators, RTO officials said.

Stakeholders asked MISO for simpler interconnection studies during the inaugural meeting of The Distributed Energy Resources Task Force.

MISO members say the grid operator needs both hard work and new faces to comply with FERC’s distributed energy directive, Order 2222.

Seeking to open communication channels with their distribution utilities, MISO staff held a special workshop to prepare for FERC Order 2222.

MISO is gearing up to draft rules before it welcomes thousands of DER aggregations into its markets in response to FERC Order 2222.
