Wind on the Wires works with utilities, the Midwest Independent Transmission System Operator (MISO, a regional transmission “grid” operator), and other stakeholders on comprehensive, integrated, forward-looking transmission planning. We also work with stakeholders to understand the operating impacts of integrating wind into the electrical power system.

WOW’s technical work involves:

• Participating in transmission planning studies
• Discussions on cost allocation for new transmission lines,
• Developing market rules to integrate wind power into the electric transmission system, and
• Analyzing integrated system operations with higher amounts of renewable energy.
