Commission 

[Docket No. EL13–88–000] 

Northern Indiana Public Service 

Company v. Midcontinent Independent 

System Operator, Inc. and PJM 

Interconnection, LLC; Notice of 

Request for Comments 

February 12, 2015. 

On September 11, 2013, Northern 

Indiana Public Service Company 

(NIPSCO) filed a complaint against 

Midcontinent Independent System 

Operator, Inc. (MISO) and PJM 

Interconnection, LLC (PJM). NIPSCO 

requested that the Commission order 

MISO and PJM to reform the 

interregional planning process of the 

Joint Operating Agreement between 

MISO and PJM (MISO–PJM JOA).1 On 

December 18, 2014, the Commission 

issued an order directing Commission 

staff to convene a technical conference 

to explore issues raised in the 

Complaint related to the MISO–PJM 

JOA and the MISO–PJM seam. The 

Commission also directed Commission 

staff to issue a request for comments on 

these issues prior to the technical 

conference to inform the technical 

conference discussion.2

Shown below is the list of questions 

for which Commission staff seeks 

comment. The questions cover the six 

reforms that NIPSCO recommends to the 

cross-border transmission planning 

process that occurs under the MISO– 

PJM JOA, as well as certain additional 

issues. Commenters should discuss the 

potential benefits and/or drawbacks, 

cost concerns, and technical feasibility 

of implementing the following reforms 

and how long the reforms would take to 

implement if adopted. 

1. Require the MISO–PJM crossborder transmission planning process to 

run concurrently with the MISO and 

PJM regional transmission planning 

cycles, rather than after those regional 

planning cycles. 

2. Require MISO and PJM to develop 

and use a single model that uses the 

same assumptions in the cross-border 

transmission planning process. Until the 

joint model is developed, require that 

there is consistency between the PJM 

and MISO planning analysis and that 

both entities are consistent in their 

application of reliability criteria and 

modeling assumptions. 

3. Require MISO and PJM to use a 

single common set of criteria to evaluate 

cross-border market efficiency projects. 

4. Require MISO and PJM to amend 

the criteria to evaluate cross-border 

market efficiency projects to address all 

known benefits, including avoidance of 

future market-to-market (M2M) 

payments made to reallocate short-term 

transmission capacity in the real-time 

operation of the system. 

5. Require MISO and PJM to have a 

process for joint planning and cost 

allocation of lower voltage and lower 

cost cross-border upgrades. 

6. Require MISO and PJM to improve 

the processes within the MISO–PJM 

JOA with respect to new generator 

interconnections and generation 

retirements. 

7. Explain the relationship between 

the cross-border transmission planning 

process (and approval of new 

transmission projects) and persistent 

M2M payments being made between the 

RTOs. Are persistent M2M payments a 

good indicator of the need for new 

transmission? 

8. NIPSCO provides an estimate of 

M2M payments on pages 23–24 of its 

Complaint. Please comment on these 

estimates and provide information on 

other estimates of M2M payments, 

including whether PJM, MISO and the 

market monitors have identified trends 

in M2M payments. 

9. Please provide examples of 

transmission projects that have been 

considered under the cross-border 

transmission planning process for the 

purpose of mitigating congestion and/or 

constraints that lead to persistent M2M 

payments, but that have not been 

developed. Provide the reason the 

project was not developed. 

Interested parties should submit 

comments on or before March 16, 2015. 

Reply comments must be filed on or 

before March 31, 2015. Comments 

should be provided by question as 

enumerated above.
