A new legislative push for multi-state CAISO governance and the ISO's drive to add an extended day ahead market top this year's agenda.

SPP continues to make a misnomer out of the "Southwest" portion of its name, expanding its beachhead in the Western Interconnection along several fronts.

SPP has added to its senior leadership team by naming Antoine Lucas as vice president of markets and David Kelley as vice president of engineering.

FERC has denied a Tenaska complaint alleging that grid operators adopted operating guides, resulting in unduly discriminatory curtailment for its wind farm.

The coming decade will see “extraordinary reliability challenges and opportunities” amid rapid changes in the North American electric grid, NERC staff said.

MISO and SPP announced that they will not pursue any small interregional projects next year from their first Targeted Market Efficiency Project study.

In a workshop, FERC commissioners and stakeholders debated the pros and cons of requiring minimum transfer capability between regions to promote reliability.

MISO and SPP have again come up empty in their fifth effort to find interregional projects to solve congestion along their seams.

SPP staff are finalizing a mitigation strategy for load-responsible entities unable to meet the grid operator’s new 15% planning reserve margin.
