MISO wades into the battle over who will build the Iowa portions of its long-range transmission projects after a court found the state’s right of first refusal law unconstitutional.

MISO confirmed it likely will try again with FERC in the third quarter to apply an annual megawatt cap to its interconnection queue.

Mark Christie used FERC’s latest order on transmission incentives to condemn the process as requests for incentives come in from several MISO’s long-range transmission projects.

MISO juggled several projects over 2023 designed to fend off imminent reliability problems and will keep up the multitasking in 2024.

An Iowa court has formally struck down the state’s right of first refusal law, driving uncertainty for $2.6 billion worth of MISO's long-range transmission projects.

MISO has chosen Ameren Transmission Co. of Illinois and Dairyland Power Cooperative to build the third and fourth competitive transmission projects emerging from its long-range transmission plan.

MISO’s Independent Market Monitor is condemning the modeling software MISO uses to plan its second long-range transmission portfolio.

After completing its initial economic and reliability analysis, MISO has found numerous overloads and congestion await its system if it doesn’t recommend a second long-range transmission plan portfolio.

MISO plans to handle four of the five recommendations from the Independent Market Monitor’s State of the Market report, putting on hold a recommendation regarding transmission planning.

MISO has awarded  an Ameren subsidiary the lead in building the second competitively bid project stemming from its $10 billion long-range transmission plan.
