On January 23, 2025, Midwest Reliability Organization’s (MRO) Reliability Advisory Council hosted a webinar focused on the 2024 Long-Term Reliability Assessment (LTRA). This informative session provided valuable insights for registered entities and stakeholders involved in resource and transmission planning within MRO’s region.

The webinar featured presentations from the four MRO Planning Coordinators—Manitoba Hydro, Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO), Saskatchewan Power Corporation, and Southwest Power Pool (SPP). Discussions covered key topics such as:

• Resource and transmission adequacy for 10-year projections (2025–2034)
• Anticipated demand growth
• The changing resource mix
• Emerging reliability issues impacting the bulk power system over the next decade

This webinar is a critical resource for understanding the challenges and opportunities ahead in maintaining the reliability of the bulk power system.
