MISO is mounting a third attempt to gain FERC approval to overhaul the cost allocation design for economic transmission projects after previous rejections.

Two market efficiency projects approved by MISO face continued obstacles, while two others slated for inclusion in MTEP 19 must wait longer for approval.

MISO’s effort to implement a new cost allocation method for large transmission projects was dealt a blow when FERC rejected the plan for a second time.

MISO and SPP are optimistic the RTOs will finally agree on an interregional transmission project, they said at GCPA's 7th annual MISO South Conference.

MISO’s industrial and transmission customers have banded together for a complaint against the cost allocation plan for baseline reliability projects.

MISO revealed a new market efficiency project cost allocation proposal that would stipulate local projects be reviewed on a local basis only.

MISO’s Planning Advisory Committee will consider several motions before it votes on whether to send the RTO’s $4 billion MTEP 19 to its board for approval.

MISO is circulating a cost allocation plan that would lower voltage thresholds but raise cost minimums on economically beneficial transmission projects.

MISO will still pursue major aspects of a transmission proposal that FERC rejected, but is debating keeping its proposed local economic project type.

The Minnesota Public Utilities Commission approved a proposal by ITC Midwest and Xcel Energy to build the Huntley-Wilmarth transmission project.
