Consolidated Planning Process (CPP)
SPP state regulators have approved several motions related to FERC Order 1920’s mandate for long-term, scenario-based planning to ensure the system can meet future needs and be fairly compensated.
SPP says it has cleared its backlog of generator interconnection requests that date back to 2018, paving the way for a transition to its “first-in-the-country” Consolidated Planning Process.
A new report urges SPP to accelerate its interconnection process and reform market rules to allow greater buildout of energy storage.
SPP’s Board of Directors has approved a tariff change establishing an integrated, three-year transmission planning cycle that represents a “first-in-the-country” mechanism.
SPP stakeholders unanimously approved a tariff change that replaces current planning processes with an integrated three-year cycle composed of long-term and annual studies.
SPP's Markets and Operations Policy Committee has endorsed the last of 21 recommendations made by a task force that reviewed the RTO's transmission and market operations last decade.
FERC is still working to implement the changes to its generator interconnection rules from Order 2023, but it is also considering further changes, as it held a two-day workshop to gather more input.
FERC has received rehearing requests on Order 1920 ranging from stakeholders who just want to see a few tweaks, to those who prefer the commission trash the entire order and start over.
