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

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