This week, we welcome David Cruthirds to the RTO Insider team with his first of hopefully many columns, providing insight into MISO and Southern Co.

FERC is starting the process of arbitrating interregional Order 1000 compliance filings, beginning last week with PJM and MISO.

PJM is seeking to reach a consensus with neighboring RTOs on a long-term increase in the $1,000 energy offer cap.

FERC granted MISO’s request to suspend action on long-term TSRs between its north and south regions as it tries to resolve its seams dispute with SPP.

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has consolidated four years of Entergy Corp.’s disputed annual cost allocation cases for hearing and settlement.

PJM should change its rules on pricing and scheduling of interface transactions to reflect changes in system conditions, the RTO’s Market Monitor says.

Impatient over the pace of progress, FERC said it will monitor meetings focused on eliminating barriers to the coordination of energy across the PJM-MISO seam.
