The SPP board has approved the RTO's 2025 Integrated Transmission Plan that includes four 765-kV projects.

At a time when MISO’s long-term planning is under fire, the Organization of MISO States’ annual meeting featured speakers who vouched for the power of planning.

SPP stakeholders have endorsed the RTO's 10-year transmission plan and some of its proposed 765-kV lines, trimming about $2.5 billion in costs from the portfolio.

SPP staff have reiterated their position to defer part of the RTO's planned 765-kV transmission overlay, setting aside about $7 billion in regional projects from its 2025 transmission assessment.

SPP says accelerating load projections will result in a 2025 transmission plan that dwarfs the previous year’s record $7.65 billion portfolio — so much so that it is considering deferring some projects until 2026.

SPP’s Board of Directors has approved a pair of contentious measures that were put aside during its August quarterly meeting, a tariff change to integrate and operate high-impact large loads and a revised cost estimate for a 765-kV transmission project.

SPP and its members are working together on a draft 765-kV transmission overlay as part of its 2025 Integrated Transmission Planning assessment that will dwarf 2024's record study.

SPP’s Board of Directors agreed to defer action on a 765-kV transmission project with a ballooning cost estimate and staff’s large load integration policy, both the source of much stakeholder discussion.

Rapid demand growth within ERCOT was a major point of discussion at the Gulf Coast Power Association's recent Spring Conference.
