Sadness over the recent death of Robert Kahn suffused this year’s NIPPC annual meeting, where speakers remembered and praised the energy veteran.

The SPP Seams Steering Committee discussed last month's level 1 energy emergency alert and, the RTO's 3rd unsuccessful attempt to partner with MISO.

WAPA, Basin Electric, and Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association announced they will join SPP’s Western Energy Imbalance Service market.

Four Colorado utilities announced they were evaluating joining either CAISO's or SPP's energy imbalance market with the help of a consulting firm.

SPP set a new record for system demand Monday, Aug. 19, as a heat wave sizzled through the southern Midwest and Great Plains.

The possibility of a MISO-SPP transmission expansion must wait, as the RTOs concluded their third coordinated system plan without a single project.

FERC denied City Utilities of Springfield’s complaint against SPP’s regional cost allocation reviews, saying it failed to show the process was unjust.

MISO and SPP are making earnest efforts to coordinate transmission development along their shared seam, according to speakers at MARC.

MARC opened with a study in local Iowa flavor and a grab bag of industry opinions gleaned from a round of questions styled after political interrogations.

SPP and MISO will hold a conference call to discuss their interregional process and joint projects — of which there are currently none.
