NEWS: MISO and ISO-NE are making major moves to bolster the grid in 2027.

  • On the MISO side: The grid operator has proposed a fast-track review process for large loads >200 MW (and their accompanying generation). MISO aims to launch it during Q1 2027, pending FERC approval. This plan could help the region weather up to 3% projected annual load growth through 2044 (following decades of 0.5% annual growth).

  • On the ISO-NE side: The org laid out an ambitious list of goals for next year, including 1) Reforming capacity auctions 2) directing large loads to BYO new generation and 3) launching independent reviews of transmission owners’ proposals for repair projects. The latter arrives in response to complaints from politicians and ratepayer advocates.
