MISO and DER Framing and Discussion Document MISO works collaboratively with stakeholders to understand the implications of Distributed Energy Resource (DER) growth, including the exploration of reliability coordination, planning, resource adequacy, and market effects. Why focus on Distributed Energy Resources? • These resources will present both challenges and opportunities for the electrical system in the MISO region, and will require more coordination between the MISO-managed transmission system and the state-jurisdictional distribution system. • Planning and modeling processes will need to evolve to better incorporate the growing influence of DERs. • As the electrical system evolves in terms of its fuel mix, technologies, and overall design and operational characteristics, DERs could help provide the availability, flexibility and visibility needed to remain reliable. misoenergy.org
