Last year SPP's Board of Directors appointed Barbara Sugg as CEO, and she wasted little time implementing her vision for the RTO.

FERC handed SPP an early Christmas present when it approved the RTO’s second version of a tariff for its five-minute WEIS market.

SPP has begun gathering stakeholder feedback as staff works to again improve its project selection processes under FERC Order 1000.

FERC ruled that Tri-State G&T has only partially complied with Orders 845 and approved Basin Electric Power Cooperative’s revised market-based rate tariff.

SPP said it has hired Kara Fornstrom, chair of the Wyoming Public Service Commission, as its director of state regulatory policy.

SPP and MISO in October registered a record $14.63 million in market-to-market settlements, more than doubling the amount set the month before.

MISO and SPP staff began putting meat on the bones of their joint transmission study, much to the satisfaction of stakeholders.

Invenergy provided an update on the Grain Belt Express transmission project during the Missouri Energy Initiative’s Midwest Energy Policy Series.

SPP offered stakeholders a deep dive into an analysis of the RTO’s Western regional market that projects millions in savings for members.

SPP staff said that stakeholders’ overall satisfaction with the RTO’s services and performance rose during 2020, even as survey responses dropped.
