Joint Transmission Interconnection Queue (JTIQ)
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 plans to continue working the Joint Targeted Interconnection Queue’s portfolio of five 345-kV projects on its seam with MISO, despite the U.S. Department of Energy’s threat to pull $464 million in previously granted funds.
The U.S. Department of Energy is preparing a case-by-case review of all the agency’s financial assistance awards under the Biden administration that it says could have “significant ramifications” for current and prospective recipients.
SPP’s Board of Directors has approved the winter-weather staging of a pair of transmission projects that have been held up since October by stakeholder concerns.
SPP and MISO are coordinating responses to their FERC filings to facilitate their Joint Transmission Interconnection Queue process and cost-allocation methodology.
After five fruitless attempts to agree on joint transmission projects across their seams, MISO and SPP will use what they call a “blended joint model” in parallel with existing SPP and MISO regional models.
CAISO CEO Elliot Mainzer, ERCOT CEO Pablo Vegas and MISO's Todd Hillman joined a USEA webinar to discuss grid reliability amid increases in extreme weather and load growth.
