NERC's Reliability and Security Technical Committee agreed to endorse two new standards projects at its meeting this week, while rejecting another.

A group of Western utilities plans to help SPP develop its Markets+ program in the West and to examine the benefits of joining it or CAISO's day-ahead market.

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

NERC issued a Level 2 alert calling on registered entities to report their readiness for severe cold after multiple winter crises in recent years.

WECC gathered leaders from the Western Interconnection’s four reliability coordinators to ask what keeps them up at night.

SPP successfully launched its WEIS market, making it the first RTO with power markets in both the Western and Eastern Interconnections.

Western BAs should determine what caused errors in load and generation forecasts during August’s massive heat wave and fix their forecasting processes.

Planning has begun for GridEx VI, which will test response to a coordinated attack from a nation-state adversary, Katherine Ledesma said.

The SPP Regional State Committee approved the nomination of South Dakota Public Utilities Commissioner Kristie Fiegen as its next president.

SPP will add eight generating resources that are part of Gridforce’s balancing authority to its reliability coordinator footprint.
