Clean energy advocates are asking MISO to make changes to its transmission planning to ensure the region can continue a shift toward renewable resources.

A growing number of stakeholders are prodding MISO to create a task team to improve transmission planning assumptions.

MISO plans to file its first storage-as-transmission asset ruleset, despite complaints from members the proposed provisions limit resource ownership to TOs.

MISO staff are done assembling the RTO’s 2019 Transmission Expansion Plan, presenting a nearly $4 billion draft package to the Board of Directors.

MISO terminated work on a set of futures scenarios for MTEP 20, opting to take the year to resolve its lagging renewable growth and retirement projections.

MISO is wagering that proposed rule changes will cut down on the time and expenses spent evaluating transmission proposals.

Despite being revamped, the Coordinated System Plan process between SPP and MISO will once again be unable to identify any interregional projects.

MISO is toying with the idea of foreshortening its MTEP 20 process in order to maximize time spent on the 2021 cycle of transmission projects.

MISO is polishing a draft 2019 Transmission Expansion Plan (MTEP) that could end up being one of the RTO’s most expensive buildout packages.

MISO shut down the prospect of allowing non-transmission owners to operate storage-as-transmission assets in the RTO’s initial ruleset for the resources.
