SPP began the public portion of integrating the Mountain West Transmission Group with a pair of lively stakeholder meetings in Colorado and Arkansas.

FERC rejected a request by PJM to allow Linden VFT to convert the 330 MW of firm transmission on its lines between PJM and NYISO to non-firm.

FERC has declined to involve itself in a dispute over whether Consumers Energy must transfer ownership of transmission assets to its former subsidiary.

SPP stakeholders discussed a recent AEP complaint filed at FERC against the RTO and MISO related to overlapping congestion charges for pseudo-ties.

The ERCOT Technical Advisory Committee unanimously approved compromise language eliminating the reduction of congestion revenue rights.

NYISO will soon announce the formation of a carbon pricing task force, CEO Brad Jones told the Management Committee.

Mountain West Transmission Group said it has completed initial discussions about RTO membership with SPP’s management team and will begin public negotiations through its stakeholder process.

FERC approved several NERC reliability standards and proposed a rulemaking regarding emergency procedures.

FERC issued orders revising how MISO deals with its neighbors when incorporating power flows between the RTO and Manitoba Hydro.

MISO will file a response to FERC’s recent deficiency letter on the RTO’s new constrained area category after an internal review.
