The Organization of MISO States (OMS) has formed a temporary work group to formulate ideas on incorporating DER into the grid.

MISO regulators gathered to discuss how the electricity sector will accommodate the growth of distributed energy resources within the RTO’s footprint.

Environmentalists last week urged FERC to decide whether states can control participation of energy efficiency resources in RTOs.

The OMS voted to lodge a protest in an ongoing dispute over whether states can prohibit energy efficiency resources from entering RTO markets.

MISO planning staff told stakeholders that near-term resource adequacy was not a concern as sufficient generation could handle upcoming changes in the RTO.

The 2017 Organization of MISO States (OMS) - MISO resource adequacy survey suggests the RTO will have sufficient capacity to meet near-term planning requirements.

The Organization of MISO States has adopted a stricter protocol for entering closed session during board meetings.

Stakeholders voted overwhelmingly to end debate about whether costs for MISO’s transmission use settlement with SPP should be allocated by capacity benefit.

OMS members will vote via email on whether to file comments in the Independent Market Monitor’s complaint over the PJM pseudo-tie proposal.

MISO and OMS began distributing their annual joint resource adequacy survey with a new calculation method some stakeholders believe is overly conservative.
