The U.S. Department of Energy is preparing a case-by-case review of all the agency’s financial assistance awards under the Biden administration that it says could have “significant ramifications” for current and prospective recipients.

Consumers Energy filed a complaint with FERC against MISO seeking compensation for keeping open the J.H. Campbell coal plant this summer as ordered by the U.S. Department of Energy.

FERC’s resource adequacy technical conference zoomed out on the second day, June 5, with several panels examining ISO-NE, MISO and NYISO.

MISO has drafted a joint transmission planning agreement with neighbor Associated Electric Cooperative Inc. that is premised on how they currently coordinate.

The Organization of MISO States and MISO are confident the footprint will be resource-sufficient in the 2026/27 planning year but said anything from an 11.4-GW surplus to a 14.1-GW deficit could be in store by the 2030/31 planning year.

MISO’s 2022 and 2023 generator interconnection queue cycles are lagging behind their stated timelines once again as the RTO continues working to produce study results in a new, automated process.

Called to the podium by the New Orleans City Council, MISO and Entergy leadership agreed a perfect storm of factors merged to cause the Memorial Day weekend power outages.

FERC will hold a two-day technical conference June 4-5, where it will look at resource adequacy issues in the ISO/RTO markets, with most of the focus on those with capacity markets.

MISO said it will create more public notices throughout its variance analysis, the process it uses to reassess transmission projects that experience cost increases or other obstacles.
