MISO Queue Terminology

Understanding MISO-specific terms is essential for interpreting interconnection queue data.

Definitive Planning Phase (DPP)

MISO’s three-phase interconnection study process that replaced the old serial queue system in 2018. Projects progress sequentially through Phase 1 (feasibility assessment), Phase 2 (detailed system impact analysis), and Phase 3 (facilities study). Each phase has specific deliverables and timelines designed to accelerate project development.

Decision Points (DP1, DP2, DP3)

Critical milestones where developers must demonstrate project viability and commit financial security deposits. At each Decision Point, developers must confirm capacity allocations (ERIS/NRIS) and post additional security. Failure to meet Decision Point requirements results in automatic queue withdrawal.

Service Types

ERIS (Energy Resource Interconnection Service): Energy-only delivery service without capacity delivery rights. ERIS projects can inject energy into the grid but don’t receive capacity credit in MISO markets. NRIS (Network Resource Interconnection Service): Full network service with capacity delivery rights. NRIS projects can both deliver energy and receive capacity credit, but require more extensive system upgrades.

Study Groups

MISO processes projects in regional cohorts based on queue submission windows. Study groups are typically identified by geographic region (East, West, Central, South) and may include the transmission owner designation (e.g., “East (ATC)”, “East (ITC)”).

Study Cycles

Intake windows when MISO accepts new interconnection requests, typically identified by year and month (e.g., “DPP-2021”, “DPP-2018-APR”). All projects in a study cycle progress through the DPP phases together.

Generation Interconnection Agreement (GIA)

Final contractual agreement between generator and MISO governing interconnection terms, construction responsibilities, and operational requirements. Projects reaching “GIA” study phase have completed all technical studies and are finalizing interconnection contracts.

Seasonal Capacity Ratings

MISO tracks both summer and winter capacity ratings due to significant temperature variations across its multi-state footprint. Solar projects may have lower summer ratings due to heat effects, while wind projects often have higher winter output in the upper Midwest.

Field Availability: MISO does not provide interconnecting_entity information in their queue data. Use transmission_owner for transmission system connection details.

Raw Fields

Complete Upstream Data

Each project includes all database columns from MISO’s interconnection queue at the top level of the response. This provides complete transparency and access to specialized MISO fields with a clean, flat structure.

Complete Data Access: All 41 fields (19 standardized + 22 ISO-specific) are available at the top level. No nesting, no duplication.

Raw Field Use Cases

Changelog Integration

// Join projects with changelog using MISO's project_id
const project = data.data[0];
const projectId = project.project_id; // "J1000"
// Use this to query changelog API

Detailed Interconnection Analysis

// Access transmission owner and POI details
const transmission = project.transmission_owner;
const poi = project.poi_name;
const voltage = poi.match(/(\d+)\s*kV/)[1]; // Extract voltage

Study Status Tracking

// Track project through MISO study process
const phase = project.study_phase;
const cycle = project.study_cycle;
const giaStatus = project.post_gia_status;

Capacity Analysis

// Analyze ERIS vs NRIS capacity allocations
const erisCapacity = project.dp2_eris_mw;
const nrisCapacity = project.dp2_nris_mw;
const serviceType = project.service_type;

Data Updates: MISO queue data is updated based on MISO’s Generator Interconnection Queue reports.

Wind Focus: MISO territory has significant wind resources, particularly in the upper Midwest states. Wind projects typically have seasonal capacity variations reflected in the summer/winter capacity fields.
