Golden Spread Electric Cooperative will again appeal a stakeholder group’s rejection of a proposed tariff change that would pre-emptively determine the amount of load SPP's system can handle without requiring additional network upgrades.

SPP stakeholders have approved a revised version of the grid operator’s fast-track study to integrate high-impact large loads during a special virtual meeting of the Markets and Operations Policy Committee.

SPP stakeholders unanimously approved a tariff change that replaces current planning processes with an integrated three-year cycle composed of long-term and annual studies.

SPP stakeholders rejected an urgent proposed tariff revision that would help the grid operator connect generation more quickly.

SPP's Markets and Operations Policy Committee has endorsed the last of 21 recommendations made by a task force that reviewed the RTO's transmission and market operations last decade.

SPP stakeholders approved a tariff revision that creates a one-time study outside the grid operator’s normal planning process, helping load-responsible entities meet their resource adequacy requirement.

SPP says it is devoting significant resources to finally resolve Attachment Z2, a bone of contention among SPP stakeholders since 2016 -- by the end of this decade.

SPP is considering a 765-kV solution and several 500-kV proposals in its Permian Basin footprint in Texas and New Mexico as it dabbles with extra-high-voltage transmission lines.

SPP publicly alerted stakeholders it failed to conduct a tariff-required analysis of several GI queue study clusters during their effort to reduce the backlog of GI requests dating back to 2017.
