Previous: 2025-07764, GridLiance Heartland LLC; Notice of Motion for Extension of Time
GridLiance Heartland LLC asked for more time to explain how it calculates certain power line ratings because it no longer controls any transmission lines. Now, the Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO) handles those tasks, so GridLiance wants to delay its report until it owns lines again. This change affects how and when these ratings are submitted but doesn’t involve new costs right now.
