Boosting Michigan’s Energy Future with Regional Transmission Upgrades, The regional entity overseeing much of the electric power grid
The 18 projects approved by MISO in Tranche 1 address reliability needs in the Upper Midwest while helping ensure utilities can transition from older, more expensive-to-run coal plants to cleaner, affordable wind and solar power. Source: MISO.Several of the Tranche 1 projects will help improve power flows from west to east, including plentiful wind power from Iowa and northern Missouri into Illinois, northern Indiana, and Michigan.
As part of developing the Tranche 1 proposals, MISO analyzed both the costs and the benefits of the project portfolio. Overall, MISO estimates that the 18 projects represent nearly $10.5 billion in new transmission system investments, the costs of which will be spread across zones 1–7 shown in the map below.
Within MISO, there are multiple “zones” used for analyzing transmission cost allocation, two of which cover Michigan — Zone 7 is the Lower Peninsula and Zone 2 is the Upper Peninsula and parts of Wisconsin. Source: MISO.Additionally, the renewable advocacy organization Clean Grid Alliancethat MISO’s Tranche 1 projects will enable more than 8,300 megawatts of new solar and wind development in Michigan’s Zone 7 — enough to power more than 1.7 million homes and create more than 34,000 jobs.
