Google, the world’s ubiquitous search engine, made its SPP membership official at October’s Markets and Operations Policy Committee meeting.

SPP extended its record for wind energy production to 17,595 MW on Oct. 17, the RTO announced.

FERC set Xcel’s challenge to GridLiance High Plains’ ATRR to for settlement procedures, and approved Evergy Kansas Central's settlement.

FERC issued orders implementing rulemaking to eliminate barriers to energy storage’s participation in electric markets, accepting PJM's and SPP's proposals.

CAISO, ISO-NE and NYISO look to be the pacesetters in opening the country’s organized electricity markets to greater participation by DERs.

FERC said SPP’s proposal to add “load-serving entity” and “non-load-serving entity” to its membership agreement became effective due to its lack of quorum.
