MISO executives said the capacity market still needs fixing, warning that the surplus gained from last week’s auction is fleeting without long-term changes.

MISO still doesn’t have enough justification to institute a minimum capacity obligation, FERC decided last week.

MISO players weighed the RTO’s recent moves to fortify resource adequacy, including seasonal capacity, accreditation approaches a downward-sloping demand curve.

MISO delivered an incomplete summer readiness report Thursday while stakeholders waited on seasonal capacity auction results.

MISO’s stakeholder committee chairs resuscitated a stakeholder group dedicated to emergency preparedness and system restoration training.

MISO has chosen LS Power’s Republic Transmission to build the first competitive project emerging from the RTO’s long-range transmission plan.

Cardinal Hickory Creek transmission project overcame another legal hurdle: a Wisconsin county judge found that regulators adequately scrutinized the project.

FERC last week told MISO it must provide more details around its plan to exclude wind and solar generation from supplying ramping service.
