SPP’s average hourly load was off 7% last fall from the previous two years, the RTO’s MMU said in its latest quarterly State of the Market report.

MISO said it will approach SPP about improving the processes underpinning affected system studies in response to stakeholders’ persistent calls for change.

SPP and MISO regulators would like to see the RTOs improve seams relations by resolving rate pancaking and adding a smaller interregional project category.

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

The heads of MISO and SPP stood on common ground to discuss seams issues during the Organization of MISO States annual meeting.

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

MISO’s and SPP’s state regulators gave the RTOs’ staffs an opportunity to respond to their monitors’ suggestions for improving interregional coordination.

MISO and SPP regulators are close to asking the RTOs for improvements to transmission operations on their seam as their market monitors wind down a study.

MISO, PJM and SPP are close to meeting FERC’s transparency requirements around affected-system studies, but their compliance filings still need fine-tuning.

FERC denied rehearing of a 2019 order that directed MISO, PJM and SPP to shine more light on how they perform their affected-system studies.
