MISO is scrapping an earlier proposal to accept expedited transmission project reviews and study them quarterly.

FERC approved EDP Renewables’ request to extend the final commercial operation date for its Crooked Lake solar farm in MISO South because of supply chain delays.

MISO hopes to use the summer to polish its approximately $20 billion second long-range transmission portfolio and have it ready for board approval by mid-September.

MISO said its second seasonal capacity auction returned sufficient capacity in all zones except a portion of Missouri, where prices soared to more than $700/MW-day in fall and spring.

Entergy’s CEO touched on recent developments on a first quarter earnings call, including the utility’s grid hardening plan for Louisiana.

MISO energy prices plunged on record low natural gas prices in March while the RTO managed a comparatively lower, 68-GW average systemwide load.

Clean energy groups were unsuccessful with FERC in their challenge of automatic withdrawal penalties in MISO’s interconnection queue.

MISO announced that 123 GW of new generation spread across 600 applications are vying to enter its generator interconnection queue under the 2023 cycle.

FERC once again said it needs more information on clearing price caps before MISO can proceed with sloped demand curves in its capacity auctions.

The Organization of MISO States has named Tricia DeBleeckere, current MISO director of state policy and strategy, as its next executive director.
