SPP's MOPC endorsed a revision request that would eliminate Z2 revenue credits for sponsored transmission upgrades despite concerns of a regulatory defeat.

SPP stakeholders debated a future that could be different from the one they are planning for, but cost concerns have prevented them from changing course.

SPP asked MOPC members to provide their input on a proposal to consolidate the 16 stakeholder groups that report to the committee.

SPP’s Strategic Planning Committee debated the merits of deterministic versus probabilistic planning approaches during a review of transmission investment.

Despite being revamped, the Coordinated System Plan process between SPP and MISO will once again be unable to identify any interregional projects.

SPP stakeholders approved changes to the RTO’s generator interconnection process to simplify what had become a burdensome process involving repetitive data.

MISO and SPP could jointly create a smaller category of interregional transmission projects as early as next year to address costly congestion.

The SPP MOPC asked staff to re-evaluate whether two transmission projects should have their need dates accelerated given wind energy growth.

Only a few months away from revising its transmission planning process, SPP is continuing to work under the old ITP format.
