FERC set hearing and settlement judge procedures for Xcel Energy’s formal challenge to GridLiance High Plains’ proposed annual transmission revenue requirement.

Two recently announced special transmission planning efforts could have MISO members soon stringing miles of new wires across the footprint.

MISO’s and SPP’s state regulators gave the RTOs’ staffs an opportunity to respond to their monitors’ suggestions for improving interregional coordination.

MISO and SPP announced a yearlong transmission study to identify projects with “comprehensive, cost-effective and efficient upgrades.”

SPP says it will begin allowing employees to return to its corporate headquarters in October.

FERC rejected SPP’s proposed Tariff revision to develop uniform local transmission planning criteria.

SPP will add eight generating resources that are part of Gridforce’s balancing authority to its reliability coordinator footprint.

MISO’s and SPP’s market monitors presented their last report to state regulators working to improve the RTOs’ interregional coordination.

Stakeholders in SPP’s Western Energy Imbalance Service market approved three revision requests in response to FERC’s rejection of the proposed Tariff.

FERC ordered a technical conference to investigate overlapping congestion charges imposed on pseudo-tie transactions between MISO and SPP.
