FERC  is hesitant to consider a regional cost allocation methodology for seams projects outside of an Order 1000 process, SPP said.

A summary of issues discussed by the SPP Seams Steering Committee on Feb. 3, 2016, including a JOA with SaskPower and joint stakeholder meetings with MISO.

It’s been 15 years since FERC approved MISO as an RTO and, like a teenager, MISO is experiencing a growth spurt.

The threshold was identified as an obstacle to transmission projects that could ease constraints along the PJM-MISO seam.

MISO officials outlined proposals to boost its capacity resources, winning support for efforts to streamline the generator interconnection process and redraw its zonal boundaries to reflect constraints.

A summary of issues the MISO Markets Committee of the Board of Directors discussed at the MISO Informational Forum last week.

Two of three proposed MISO-SPP interregional projects touted to offer $235 million in benefits look much less attractive following additional modeling and are likely doomed.

SPP and MISO met last week with their stakeholders to review the first five months of market-to-market operations between the two RTOs.

SPP officials and market participants last week celebrated the first year of its Integrated Marketplace, boasting of its on-time, under-budget delivery.

MISO and PJM said last week they will pursue four “quick hit” flowgate projects that show promise in relieving market-to-market congestion.
