Environmental and renewable groups are backing an effort to promote a 'Macro Grid' that would deliver wind and solar power from the Midwest to urban centers.

MISO will likely extend its settlement agreement for flows on the Midwest-South subregional transmission constraint through early 2023.

FERC reversed its earlier stance that would have required nonpublic utility transmission owners in MISO and SPP to explicitly commit to providing refunds.

SPP will soon reach a significant milestone when it adds its 100th member in global renewable developer EDF Renewables.

SPP staff and stakeholders lauded former CEO Nick Brown in a virtual retirement ceremony.

SPP’s Market Monitoring Unit released the final version of its 2019 State of the Market report and a study on improving issues across the MISO seam.

SPP is extending its suspension of business travel and face-to-face meetings until at least Aug. 1, which may ensure longer beards seen in RTO webinars.

SPP’s Board of Directors approved the first two revision requests stemming from the Holistic Integrated Tariff Team’s work.

SPP CEO Barbara Sugg assured stakeholders the RTO is taking careful steps to reopen while the pandemic still rages, making clear it will be a slow process.

FERC rejected generator interconnection agreements with four wind farms filed by SPP, finding that the RTO had not shown them to be just and reasonable.
