MISO said it is close to completing a proposal to create a four-season capacity market after floating a rudimentary plan with skeptical stakeholders.

A new FERC rule says MISO interconnection customers with signed agreements can no longer abandon generation projects without assuming financial risk.

SPP regulators agreed to keep up their collaboration with MISO regulators, saying the effort is pressuring the RTOs to resolve their seams issues.

The cost of MISO’s 2021 Transmission Expansion Plan is set to ring in substantially below last year’s spending level, the RTO said at a planning meeting.

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

SPP staff and stakeholders have added an accelerated decarbonization future to the RTO’s 20-year long-term assessment.

MISO said it will soon present proposals for reformulating its VoLL while its IMM once again urged the RTO to nearly triple the current value.

MISO’s Advisory Committee said it will defer to MISO as the final arbiter over whether a new company or organization is entitled to join a certain sector.

Stakeholders told MISO to rework a proposal that allows the RTO to remove stakeholders and committee leadership in certain situations.

Peak demand was lower in December than in years past, MISO executives said during an informational forum.
