Arkansas Commissioner Ted Thomas says his recent decision to step down from the state’s regulatory body is simply a matter of making room for his successor.

SPP says it is limiting attendance at its scheduled October governance meetings to only roster members of the Board of Directors, Members Committee and RSC.

SPP regulators have approved a recommendation for three DC ties that will connect the RTO’s Eastern and Western Interconnection footprints.

SPP and its members have agreed to boost the reserve margin to 15% but remain at odds over the timing of the increase following "contentious" MOPC discussions.

SPP’s Board of Directors approved the RTO’s fourth competitive transmission project, awarding a $55 million, 345-kV facility to NextEra Energy Transmission.

MISO and SPP state regulators plan to involve themselves in the RTOs’ discussions about sharing costs from their joint interconnection queue study.

Despite Texas PUC Commissioner Will McAdams' forceful opposition, SPP approved a measure granting local projects an opportunity for regional funding.

SPP’s Board of Directors and its state regulators will consider a pair of revision requests that did not pass stakeholder muster earlier this month.

SPP and stakeholders agreed on the need for better gas-electric coordination as they begin to address the causes of load shedding during February’s storm.

SPP released a comprehensive report on the week of February's severe winter storm, calling it the most operationally challenging week in its 80-year history.
