Utilities are hoping their participation in SPP's WEIS market will be the "first step" to full RTO membership.

SPP successfully launched its WEIS market, making it the first RTO with power markets in both the Western and Eastern Interconnections.

FERC handed SPP an early Christmas present when it approved the RTO’s second version of a tariff for its five-minute WEIS market.

A discussion on diversity in the energy industry, hosted by CREPC-WIRAB, delved into resource adequacy and the potential for a Western RTO.

SPP signaled it may be on the verge of further expanding its footprint, as several Western utilities are committed to evaluating membership.

A request to waive an SPP Tariff requirement prompted a philosophical dispute between FERC Chairman Neil Chatterjee and Commissioner James Danly.

FERC approved penalty settlements for violations of NERC standards by Mississippi Delta Energy Agency and WAPA, along with an unnamed utility.

SPP became the first regional transmission organization to handle RC services in the Eastern and Western Interconnections.

WAPA, Basin Electric, and Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association announced they will join SPP’s Western Energy Imbalance Service market.
