Voltus, Inc. (“Voltus”), the leading DER software platform, announces today that its nearly 500 MW MISO portfolio is prepared to help meet anticipated supply shortages this summer. MISO’s 2022/2023 Capacity Auction last month revealed critical gaps in accredited capacity due to the increase in intermittent generation and the ongoing retirement of thermal generation across the region. As a result, customers in seven MISO zones spanning eleven US states have an increased risk of controlled outages to maintain system reliability this summer.
