State authority · PDF pp. 2–7
Who plans for the next five years?
MISO combines forecasts from load-serving entities with an annual survey of resource owners; state and retail regulators retain responsibility for determining required adequacy.

The proposed zero-injection agreement would give paired generation and load a study path without granting delivery rights on the wider system. MISO later filed the agreement in ER26-3552.
