SPP’s board and Members Committee met outside of their normal quarterly schedule to consider a number of pressing issues.

MISO members have recommended that the RTO’s 2020 Transmission Expansion Plan proceed to final approval in December.

MISO is considering how to restrict generation developers’ ability to change the fuel type of proposed projects in the interconnection queue.

MISO’s Board of Directors has three seats up for grabs in December, though the new board is only guaranteed one new face.

FERC denied LG&E and KU’s request for rehearing of its order rejecting the company’s proposed transition for exiting from market power mitigation measures.

SPP and MISO staff shared with the SPP Seams Steering Committee additional details on the yearlong transmission study the RTOs will soon pursue.

With a challenging summer in the rearview, MISO expects more traditional reliability risks this fall while making blueprints for an industry roiled by change.

Two recently announced special transmission planning efforts could have MISO members soon stringing miles of new wires across the footprint.

FERC said MISO’s Tariff was silent on the issue of whether a generation project can switch from wind to solar while in the RTO’s interconnection queue.

FERC left MISO transmission owners’ ability to self-fund network upgrades intact over a protest from AWEA and the dissent of Commissioner Richard Glick.
