SPP
SPP reached a key milepost in its Western efforts when FERC conditionally approved its tariff for Markets+, a highly anticipated decision likely to ramp up the competition with CAISO’s Extended Day-Ahead Market.
The 2,600 GW of wind, solar and storage sitting in interconnection queues across the U.S. represent a major imbalance in energy resources that could lead to brownouts or blackouts, former North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum (R) said during his Senate confirmation hearing.

The U.S. Department of Energy has made conditional loan commitments totaling $22.9 billion to utilities for transmission, pipeline and clean power investments.
MISO revealed it will crack down on demand response testing requirements ahead of its spring capacity auction, while some stakeholders argued the stepped-up measures amount to a change that requires FERC approval.
A new report by Americans for a Clean Energy Grid lays out a framework for engaging communities during the development of transmission lines in order to ensure the industry can expand the infrastructure on time.
FERC approved price formation reforms for SPP and set questions around resource accreditation for additional proceedings in a pair of orders issued at its regular monthly meeting.
Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro urged PJM Chair Mark Takahashi to “intervene with” RTO leadership to revise the design of the capacity market before conducting the 2026/27 BRA to avoid an “unacceptable” increase in capacity market prices.
