The stakes are too high for our energy system to fail. Our nation’s schools, hospitals, emergency services, and military bases all rely on the electric power grid to perform their most basic functions. We need a high-capacity, long-distance transmission grid to transport electricity from the places where it is produced to electricity users across the country.

The Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO) coordinates, controls, and monitors the sale and use of our electric transmission system across 15 states.2 In July 2022—after the largest and most complex study process to date—MISO approved Tranche 1 of Long-Range Transmission Planning (LRTP).

Read our fact sheet to see the thousands of jobs that MISO LRTP-1 can deliver.
