MISO and SPP announced that they plan to ditch their current affected systems study process for more interregional transmission studies like their JTIQ study.

MRO’s annual reliability conference emphasized the inevitability of the transition to clean energy and avoiding future supply shortfalls with more generation.

MISO and SPP’s inaugural Common Seams Initiatives meeting discussed transmission reconfigurations and the search for interregional transmission projects.

SPP staff are conducting internal discussions on how they manage MISO constraints in the day-ahead market as part of the RTOs’ market-to-market process.

SPP expects to have enough generating capacity to meet regional demand this summer, but it has already issued the season's first resource advisory.

SPP’s plan to develop a market to compete with CAISO's Western EIM got a boost from utilities and energy customers in the Pacific Northwest.

The CREPC-WIRAB spring meeting focused on regional markets and transmission planning in the West, including FERC's recent transmission planning NOPR.

SPP has filed a request with FERC that the commission take immediate action in a dispute between the RTO and AECI over charges from the February 2021 storm.

MISO and SPP say this year’s coordinated system plan study will focus on “solutions to historical, persistent congestion issues” on the RTOs’ seam.

FERC approved a slate of penalties against an electric utility, an RTO and a government agency for violations of NERC reliability standards.
