Starting with the MTEP15 cycle, any Board-approved projects that are defined as Market Efficiency Projects (MEP) or Multi-Value Projects(MVP) are considered Eligible Projects. MISO reviews the Board-approved MTEP reports to identify eligible projects. Eligible projects are subject to MISO’s Competitive Developer Selection Process unless excluded by Attachment FF Sections VIII.A.1 - VIII.A.3.
Upgrades to existing transmission facilities include any expansions replacements, or modifications made to existing transmission line or existing substation facilities. The transmission owner has the right to develop, own, and operate any upgrade to its transmission facilities. For more information regarding the criteria for upgrades to existing transmission line and substation facilities, read MISO Tariff Attachment FF Section VIII.A. 2.
These are Market Efficiency Projects that:
Meet the requirements for designation as a Baseline Reliability Project
Address a reliability need identified in a Baseline Study
Are needed within 36 months from the month in which MISO’s Board of Directors approved Appendix A of a MTEP
Are effective beginning MTEP20
The transmission facilities comprising an Immediate Need Reliability Project are assigned to the applicable Transmission Owner to develop, own, and operate in accordance with the ISO Agreement. For more information read MISO Tariff Attachment FF Section VIII.A.3.
The table shows all Eligible Projects reviewed by MTEP cycle with notation of exclusion or competitive selection.
