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.

Former Southern California Edison Senior Vice President Erik Takayesu is joining MISO’s Board of Directors.

MISO members are mulling an advisory vote on whether to support the RTO’s $21.8 billion long-range transmission plan portfolio while tensions simmer over the necessity of the expansion.

Load-serving entities that decide against participating in MISO’s capacity auction must secure anywhere from 1.5% to 4.2% beyond their reserve margin requirements in the 2025/26 planning year.

MISO this year said it generally agrees with the six new market recommendations brought forward in its Independent Market Monitor’s annual State of the Market report and is actively working on one of them.

MISO said unless stakeholders can come up with an alternative it hasn’t explored, it will have to renew its sole system support resource — Manitowoc Public Utilities’ Lakefront 9 coal unit — for another year.

MISO Independent Market Monitor David Patton has made a final stand against the RTO’s $21.8 billion long-range transmission plan, while members are advising the MISO Board of Directors that the IMM's opinions on transmission shouldn't hold water.
