FERC authorized MISO’s move to a capacity accreditation method that blends probabilistic availability with historical unit performance.

FERC said it needs more explanation behind MISO’s plan to use a capacity accreditation that would accredit resources based on a combination of their projected availability and historical performance during periods of high system risk.

Stakeholder voices criticizing the design of MISO’s proposed, probabilistic capacity accreditation outnumbered those expressing support before FERC.
