  • MISO Model Manager, enables MISO members to provide modeling data to MISO to maintain accurate power system models. Expected completion in 2025.
  • Operator Interface, assists operators and stakeholders with communication and reliability. Released Q1 2024. 
  • Upgraded Energy Management System, allows operators to  monitor and analyze the health of the Bulk Electric System and to fulfill MISO’s NERC-certified roles. Completed 2022.   
  • New Market User Interface, allows market participants to transact with the MISO Energy & Ancillary Services Market. Completed 2021. 

MSE initiatives better support the regions evolving generation mix as well as future processes for operating electricity markets. This on-going work is a critical element of MISO’s Reliability Imperative.
