MISO’s large seam includes a diverse set of neighbors (e.g., RTOs, Cooperatives, IOUs) 6

Coordination of neighboring seams reliability achieved through multiple types of agreements • Joint Operating Agreement (JOA) – Congestion Management Process (CMP) – Interregional Coordination Process (M2M) – Examples – PJM, SPP • Coordination Agreement – Examples – Manitoba Hydro (MH), Ontario (IESO) • Reliability Coordinator Coordination Agreement – Examples – MISO-TVA, MISO-Southern Co, MISO-WECC • Adjacent Balancing Authority Agreement – Examples – MISO-AECI 7

Considerations for Reliable Management of Multiple Neighboring Seams • Clarity of Communication • Congestion Management Tools – Internal Security Constraint Economic Dispatch – Loop Flows • Market-to-Market (MISO/PJM/SPP) • Transmission Loading Relief Procedure (TLR) – Safe Operating Mode • Models (MISO & External) – SPP/PJM(NYISO)/TVA/SOCO/SAS/IESO – Updates (frequency) • Drills 8
