MISO Dashboard

First meeting of the DR and MCS Alignment Task Team. Interested stakeholders are working with MISO to identify and design needed improvements to the MISO Communication System which is used by LMRs and MISO to offer and deploy these resources.

MISO presented an “LMR Registration Update” at the Resource Adequacy Subcommittee (RASC) to communicate the revised Planning Resource Auction deadlines and requirements resulting from FERC’s acceptance of the “LMR Availability” filing. An LMR FAQ was also posted, added to the Resource Adequacy BPM (BPM-011) and reviewed to guide stakeholders in registering their LMRs under the new rules.

FERC accepted MISO’s proposal with one condition related to release of LMRs called in anticipation from their obligation to perform if an emergency is not declared at least two hours in advance. MISO will continue to work with stakeholders through the Resource Adequacy Subcommittee to gather the information required in the order. MISO will also refine emergency procedures to call on long-lead LMRs in anticipation of emergency conditions. FERC responses for the Demand Resource (DR) testing and outage coordination improvements are expected March 31 and April 1 respectively.

Stakeholders submitted final comments on tariff redlines revised in response to discussion at the RSC on December 7, 2018.
