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 SPP’s request to remove its day-ahead must-offer requirement, saying the RTO had not provided “sufficient support” for the Tariff revisions.

Despite not having any of its projects constructed, Clean Line Energy Partners, and CEO Mike Skelly, remain optimistic.

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

FERC rejected SPP’s proposed cost allocation for its seams project with Associated Electric Cooperative Inc.

FERC has approved SPP’s request to change the frequency of its regional cost allocation review (RCAR) from every three years to every six.

FERC rejected a request by several SPP members that they be exempted from congestion and marginal loss charges under a grandfathered contract.

Officials remain optimistic about MISO’s interregional transmission planning process with SPP despite its failure to produce a single project.

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 accepted SPP’s proposed Tariff revisions related to shortage pricing.
