SPP and stakeholders agreed on the need for better gas-electric coordination as they begin to address the causes of load shedding during February’s storm.

SPP released a comprehensive report on the week of February's severe winter storm, calling it the most operationally challenging week in its 80-year history.

SPP's Seams Steering Comm. discussed the RTO's agreement with MISO and upcoming meetings between the Regional State Comm. and the Org. of MISO States.

MISO and SPP regulators are considering an analysis of the interregional planning process to supplement the seams coordination analysis already underway.

The Organization of MISO States issued a set of principles intended to guide the RTO’s approach to long-term transmission planning.

The SPP Regional State Committee approved a recommendation to engage the RTO’s MMU and the MISO Monitor to conduct a joint analysis on seams issues.

State regulators are bringing in the MISO and SPP market monitors to help solve seams issues between the two RTOs.

Two members of the SPP Regional State Committee (RSC), commissioners Randy Christmann of North Dakota and Kristie Fiegen of South Dakota, won re-election.

The SPP RSC (Regional State Committee) approved the scope for a study of cost allocation in wind-rich areas, a problem that grows along with the RTO’s wind generation.

The SPP Regional State Committee unanimously agreed to leave the aggregate study’s safe harbor cost limit unchanged at $180,000/MW.
