SPP staff have begun working on final report of the Export Pricing Task Force for delivery in July of this year.

SPP's footprint may be expanding with the potential addition of the Mountain West Transmission Group, which would help the RTO offload excess wind energy.

PJM CEO Andy Ott and SPP CEO Nick Brown said that FERC Order 1000 is causing headaches while doing little to encourage transmission development.

Preliminary results of the MISO and SPP '16 coordinated system study are in, and the RTOs say one project has potential, but it fails MISO’s cost threshold.

The odds of SPP and MISO conducting a second joint study dropped as the RTOs’ reviews are not lining up. Plus the Z2 Task Force is narrowing alternatives.

MISO and PJM staff proposed a solution to the double counting of congestion for pseudo-tied resources, a fix that could apply to those between MISO and SPP.

SPS and SPP have asked the PUC of Texas (PUCT) to rule on whether Texas law includes a right of first refusal that overrides FERC Order 1000.

OGE reported net income of $57.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to $29.4 million the year prior.

After SPP set the wind penetration record for North American RTOs, recent studies found that it has the potential to serve 75% of its load with wind.

At 4:30 a.m. Sunday morning, SPP’s footprint generated 11,419 MW of wind energy at the same time its load was 21,919 MW.
