The proposal for pilot programs comes as the Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO) and other ISOs and regional transmission organizations rework their market rules to comply with the FERC order and prepare for the increase in energy storage coupled with renewable energy.
MISO, which serves most of Michigan, has until June 6, 2022, to implement tariff provisions and comply with Order 841. PJM Interconnection, which also serves part of Michigan, had its storage plan approved in 2019 and recently proposed an Effective Load Carrying Capability framework to better calculate the contributions of renewable energy and storage.
