![]() Stakeholders represent a diverse set of entities, including the following: Some Stakeholders operate businesses that directly interact with wholesale electricity markets, whereas others are primarily concerned with the indirect consequences of our electric grid, such as possible environmental or consumer implications. But MISO doesn’t just hand back the steering wheel-it takes input from a much larger cross section of interested parties, collectively called “Stakeholders.” Stakeholders can include anyone, as long as they are interested in what MISO is doing and want to help play a substantive role.īut not all Stakeholders are the same. However, these entities don’t just blindly hand over the keys they want a say in how MISO goes about its business too. As explained in “What’s up with the grid?,” this is no small task as MISO must match all electricity generation with all electricity consumption across the greater MISO grid during every moment of a given day. MISO stakeholdersĪs a voluntary member-based organization, MISO does not own transmission or distribution infrastructure, but is instead entrusted by the entities that own this infrastructure to reliably and efficiently manage and operate that infrastructure, aka the grid itself. Future planning for a carbon-free grid will need to remain reliable, and market design will also be very important in helping us get there. But this third goal does not operate in isolation. While all three of these roles are equally important, it is that third planning goal where MISO can best help Minnesota and the rest of the region achieve a carbon-free economy. As discussed in our “What’s up with the grid?” blog, MISO and other regional transmission operators are primarily responsible for organizing wholesale power markets, ensuring regional reliability, and planning new transmission lines for the electric grid of the future.
