MISO and SPP planners discussed the prospects of Joint Targeted Interconnection Queue projects at the Missouri Energy Initiative Midwest Energy Policy Series.

SPP says its Markets+ day-ahead offering in the Western Interconnection is on track to be completed by the end of the year.

SPP stakeholders have rejected a recommendation to stick with the status quo when it comes to adding counterflow optimization to the congestion-hedging process.

SPP and MISO began gathering feedback on ways they can pass the hat for seven joint transmission projects that could enable almost 29 GW of new generation.

SPP said it plans to close its Western Energy Imbalance Service, with members joining either its proposed Markets+ program or its Western RTO.

SPP set the energy Twitterverse on fire when it became the first regional grid operator to exceed 90% for the amount of renewable energy meeting demand.

MISO and SPP’s friendlier relationship was on display at the Gulf Coast Power Association’s MISO-SPP conference

Panelists told attendees at the MISO-SPP GCPA conference to expect more renewables and more socially responsible operations of the RTOs' members.

Two experts on either side of the argument debated how the nascent market will work in practice using several basketball references.

An SPP task force out to consolidate transmission planning processes and associated cost-sharing mechanism is just getting started.
