Stakeholders asked if MISO’s new long-term generation outage policy played a role in driving up Michigan capacity prices in the Planning Resource Auction.

MISO might revise and refile a failed proposal designed to set penalties for non-capacity resources that exercise market power through physical withholding.

FERC rejected MISO’s bid to expand its Independent Market Monitor’s physical withholding mitigation to include non-capacity resources.

MISO’s Independent Market Monitor intends to reduce its monitoring of physical withholding by small behind-the-meter generators in the footprint.

FERC approved MISO’s more stringent capacity withholding rule while also allowing the RTO to remove demand response from market monitoring.

MISO has come up with two possible responses to its IMM’s suggestion to apply its physical withholding threshold to affiliated participants collectively.
