FERC rejected an SPP proposal to review the information that transmission owners include in their initial revenue requirement filings after joining the RTO.

FERC last week accepted revised transmission formula rate protocols by four SPP and MISO utilities that had deficient protocols.

FERC said last week that SPP must engage in interregional coordination and cost allocation with SERTP, rejecting the RTO’s request for a limited waiver of Order 1000 requirements.

FERC needs to do more work to ensure Order 1000 opens transmission development to competition and results in interregional projects, developers said at Infocast’s 18th annual Transmission Summit last week.

MISO officials last week called Year One of MISO South a success but acknowledged room for improvement in crisis communications and unfulfilled potential.

MISO will have to adopt neighbor SPP’s cost allocation method for interregional transmission facilities addressing reliability needs, FERC said.

FERC approved changes to the SPP Tariff that clarify the circumstances under which market participants are able to modify their mitigated offers during the operating day.
