Q: Would projects that are proposed through the LRTP process be eligible for competitive bid or is the project handed over to the incumbent utilities by default?
Answer:
Answer:
- No facilities are not assigned directly to the incumbent utilities. A facility would be assigned to the incumbent if it meets one of the exclusions under the Tariff.
- For Tranche 1 of the LRTP, see MISO's Eligible Projects webpage for information on which facilities were deemed eligible for the Competitive Transmission Process: https://www.misoenergy.org/planning/transmission-planning2/eligible-projects/ and also see MISO's Competitive Transmission Administration webpage for further information about awarded competitive projects and schedules:
