A group of utilities have filed for rehearing of a show cause order FERC issued in June that could change the practice of who pays for interconnection lines at four ISO/RTOs.

Clean energy nonprofits continued to try to persuade Entergy and MISO South state commissioners to embrace a broader view of cost allocation for an upcoming long-range transmission portfolio the RTO intends for the subregion.

MISO’s Independent Market Monitor debuted six new market recommendations this year as part of his annual State of the Market report.

MISO said stakeholders have convinced it to design an off switch on its proposed $10,000/MWh value of lost load to use during extended load-shedding events.

As it gears up to run its first auctions using sloped demand curves, MISO said prices and procurement would have risen had it used them in this year’s auctions.

A renewable energy trade group asked MISO to put more thought into how HVDC transmission’s ability to infuse the footprint with more external capacity could influence MISO’s capacity auctions.

MISO said it will likely split load-modifying resource participation into two options in an effort to line up their true contributions with accreditation.

MISO’s Market Subcommittee will assist MISO in drafting tariff requirements to discourage market participants from committing fraud in MISO’s demand response market.
