MISO leadership has not yet decided on how it can improve resource availability, though it is evaluating several possible remedies, the RTO said.

MISO has sufficient resources available to cope with warm conditions this fall, although there is a risk it may be forced to order emergency procedures.

MISO Advisory Committee members discussed how to ensure sufficient energy supply at the RTO’s Board Week.

Officials at MISO Board Week meetings pondered why the RTO is likely to face an increasing frequency of emergency conditions in the near future.

MISO is asking stakeholders if they would like the RTO to provide generators an additional emergency notification declaring a maximum generation alert.

The MISO Reliability Subcommittee (RSC) discussed a recent RTO white paper on resource availability, including the increasing frequency of max gen events.

Competitive transmission, hurricane forecasts and maximum generation alerts were among the topics at the GCPA MISO South regional conference.

Most load-modifying resources called up during the MISO April 4 maximum generation event failed to respond properly to scheduling instructions.

MISO last month called on load-modifying resources for the first time in 10 years after it declared an unusual mid-spring maximum generation emergency.

The MISO Market Subcommittee on Feb. 2, 2016, discussed Tariff revisions to extend the day-ahead market, interface pricing and EEE flags.
