SPP and MISO staff shared with the SPP Seams Steering Committee additional details on the yearlong transmission study the RTOs will soon pursue.

MISO’s and SPP’s state regulators gave the RTOs’ staffs an opportunity to respond to their monitors’ suggestions for improving interregional coordination.

MISO and SPP announced a yearlong transmission study to identify projects with “comprehensive, cost-effective and efficient upgrades.”

SPP will add eight generating resources that are part of Gridforce’s balancing authority to its reliability coordinator footprint.

Stakeholders in SPP’s Western Energy Imbalance Service market approved three revision requests in response to FERC’s rejection of the proposed Tariff.

SPP staff are working feverishly to address FERC and Market Monitoring Unit concerns that threaten the launch of its Western Energy Imbalance Service market.

SPP identified a couple potential joint projects with MISO but none with Associated Electric Cooperative Inc.

MISO and SPP regulators are close to asking the RTOs for improvements to transmission operations on their seam as their market monitors wind down a study.

SPP is facing a two-month delay in gaining FERC approval of the Tariff for its Western Energy Imbalance Service market, staff said.

SPP’s effort to stand up the Western Energy Imbalance Service market is on budget and on schedule, RTO staff told the Western Markets Executive Committee.
