SPP stakeholders endorsed a 10-year transmission plan that will likely continue to underestimate wind energy development.

MISO and SPP state regulators appear intent on completing their work to improve their interregional coordination before 2021 arrives.

FERC reversed course and said MISO, SPP and PJM don’t have to rely on eachother’s dispatch assumptions to carry out an affected-system study.

SPP considered several seams-related projects with MISO through their 2020 ITP, but declined to pursue them over differences in calculating benefits and costs.

FERC approved a cost-and-usage agreement between SPP and AECI that could result in the RTO’s first competitive project under Order 1000.

FERC rejected Gladstone New Energy’s complaint that Tri-State G&T’s generator interconnection procedures caused it to lose its queue position.

A request to waive an SPP Tariff requirement prompted a philosophical dispute between FERC Chairman Neil Chatterjee and Commissioner James Danly.

FERC accepted two previously rejected unexecuted generator interconnection agreements between SPP, OG&E and a pair of wind farms.

SPP leadership has delayed staff’s return to their offices until at least Jan. 4 because of increasing COVID-19 diagnoses in Arkansas.
