Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO) became the nation's first FERC-approved Regional Transmission Organization (RTO) on December 20, 2001. Since then, the size of the MISO region has expanded from our northern borders into Canada, down to the Gulf of Mexico.
Regional Transmission Organizations (RTO), like MISO, are responsible for overseeing and managing the electric power transmission grid across a specific geographic region. Its functions include:
1.Operating the transmission system to ensure reliability.
2.Planning for future transmission needs
3.Facilitating wholesale electricity markets to promote competition and lower costs.
4.Implementing policies to enhance access to the transmission system.
5.Overseeing transmission pricing and tariffs
RTOs are regulated by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and monitored for compliance and accountability by the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC).
MISO (Midcontinent Independent System Operator) is an independent, not-for-profit, member-based organization focused on three critical tasks:
- Managing the flow of high-voltage electricity across 15 U.S. states and the Canadian province of Ma...nitoba
- Facilitating one of the world's largest energy markets with more than $40 billion in annual transactions
- Planning the grid of the future
45 million people depend on MISO to generate and transmit the right amount of electricity every minute of every day - reliably, dependably, and cost-effectively.
In addition to making sure the lights stay on for the 45 million people living in our 15 State region, MISO also facilitates one of the world's largest energy markets and partners with our members and stakeholders to plan the grid of tomorrow.
Like any other commodity, electricity is bought and sold through wholesale and retail energy markets. The two main types of markets are wholesale and retail. Energy is initially sold on a wholesale market to utilities and other entities, who then resell it on the retail market to end-users. MISO facilitates one of the world's largest wholesale electricity markets. Competitive markets ensure prices remain as low as possible under all conditions. Hundreds of companies participate in one or more of MISO's four energy markets to buy and sell billions of dollars’ worth of electricity each year.
