MI HR0430

Urges the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to reverse its acceptance of the Midcontinent Independent System Operator's (MISO) system support resource cost allocation tariff that allocates approximately 99.5 percent of costs to Michigan's Upper Peninsula utility customers.

Requires FERC to divide system support resource costs in a more equitable manner consistent with historical cost allocation agreements and the American Transmission Company's original methodology.

Addresses the cost allocation for keeping the Presque Isle Power Plant operational, which MISO determined is critical for regional grid reliability; the plant's operation requires an estimated $100 million in annual payments allocated heavily to Upper Peninsula ratepayers.

Requests transmission of the resolution to FERC's Chairman, the Governors of Michigan and Wisconsin, and the congressional delegations of both states.
