Protests and endorsements have turned up in response to MISO’s second attempt with FERC to annually cap project submittals to its interconnection queue based on a megawatt value.

MISO said it will design an expedited resource adequacy study process so generation projects in the interconnection queue that are needed for capacity sufficiency will get grid treatment sooner.

MISO announced it will move forward on annual interconnection queue cap based on 50% of peak load for the year in question, this time removing exemptions for projects that regulators deem essential.
