MISO proposes 120-day fast-track study for loads above 200 MW paired with new generation
MISO has proposed a 120-day study process for large loads above 200 MW and new generation located in the same local resource zone. Local resource zones generally consist of individual states. The source describes this as a proposal, not an approved process.
Why it matters
Data center builders planning loads above 200 MW could see a faster path to interconnection if they pair with new generation in the same state-level zone, though the process is still only proposed.
