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.

Cost allocation negotiations for the second half of MISO’s long-range transmission planning heated up over whether generators should bear a portion of costs.

Amid two interregional study efforts and a pledge for better seams coordination, MISO and SPP are launching a new biannual stakeholder meeting.

FERC ordered CAISO, ISO-NE, MISO, NYISO, PJM and SPP to report on how system needs are changing with their shifting resource mixes and how they will meet them.

Rising natural gas prices and extreme weather pushed wholesale electricity prices higher in 2021, FERC said in its annual State of the Markets report.

MISO and SPP planners discussed the prospects of Joint Targeted Interconnection Queue projects at the Missouri Energy Initiative Midwest Energy Policy Series.

SPP says its Markets+ day-ahead offering in the Western Interconnection is on track to be completed by the end of the year.

SPP stakeholders have rejected a recommendation to stick with the status quo when it comes to adding counterflow optimization to the congestion-hedging process.

SPP and MISO began gathering feedback on ways they can pass the hat for seven joint transmission projects that could enable almost 29 GW of new generation.

On April 3, CAISO topped its record for renewables serving load that it had set a week before, coming closer to briefly meeting demand with 100% clean energy.
