Anxiety over clogged interconnection queues and the need for more interregional transmission loomed large at the Energy Bar Association’s annual meeting.

The Organization of MISO States is preparing a letter to MISO leadership to stress resource adequacy work following the last month’s capacity auction.

MISO is forming the planning analyses that will decide the fate of the contentious Hartburg-Sabine Junction project, but some stakeholders have concerns.

MISO and SPP say this year’s coordinated system plan study will focus on “solutions to historical, persistent congestion issues” on the RTOs’ seam.

MISO’s June listening session with its Board of Directors will concentrate on how the RTO and its members are tackling the nationwide Great Resignation.

SPP’s Board of Directors approved the RTO’s fourth competitive transmission project, awarding a $55 million, 345-kV facility to NextEra Energy Transmission.

FERC rejected a transmission owner self-funding option for HVDC projects in a decision that could save millions for developers like SOO Green.

MISO warned that even a normal amount of demand and generation outages will likely send it into emergency procedures this summer.

Faced with a capacity supply shortage in 2022/23, MISO is considering broadening its generator retirement studies to consider resource adequacy.

Clean Grid Alliance asked MISO to develop a means to see late-stage projects through its generator interconnection queue when they’re delayed.
