MISO and SPP said a weak economic showing isn’t a dealbreaker to build transmission projects accommodating generation in their jammed interconnection queues.

A Brattle Group-Grid Strategies study on transmission planning pinpoints inefficiencies that hinder the integration of new renewable resources.

Grid planners need more input on policy and a reliability “safety valve,” the Eastern Interconnection Planning Collaborative said in a new paper.

FERC on Tuesday approved MISO’s two-part plan to get hybrid resources accredited for participation in the RTO’s capacity auctions.

Entergy continues to field criticisms that it’s hindering transmission development to keep its territory shielded from competing energy suppliers.

Steve Huntoon says the participant funding model makes as much sense today as it did 20 years ago — despite FERC's second thoughts expressed in its July ANOPR.

MISO gave stakeholders more time to adapt to four seasonal capacity auctions and capacity accreditation determined by a unit's performance in tight conditions.

Divisions between MISO and MISO South stakeholders deepened over the RTO’s long-range transmission plan.

Some load-serving entities and southern regulators are criticizing MISO’s efforts to create its first long-term regional resource assessment.

MISO staff said project withdrawals from its record-setting 150-GW interconnection queue are imminent.
