Agency Agreement

By signing Appendix G of the MISO Agreement, Transmission Owning Members will authorize MISO to act as the agent in the performance of Tariff administrative duties related to "Non-transferred Transmission Facilities."

Amended Balancing Authority Agreement

This agreement, between the MISO and the MISO Local Balancing Authorities, resulted from negotiations regarding the establishment and implementation of the MISO Ancillary Services Markets.
