SPP's Markets and Operations Policy Committee discussed the RTO's generation interconnection backlog and its performance during February's cold snap.

The SPP Board of Directors formally recognized the MOPC’s revamped structure by approving the revised scopes for the committee’s various subgroups.

SPP staff and stakeholders have added an accelerated decarbonization future to the RTO’s 20-year long-term assessment.

SPP staff unveiled a proposed mitigation plan to reduce the four-year backlog in the RTO’s generation interconnection queue.

Last year SPP's Board of Directors appointed Barbara Sugg as CEO, and she wasted little time implementing her vision for the RTO.

SPP stakeholders endorsed a 10-year transmission plan that will likely continue to underestimate wind energy development.

SPP stakeholders once again took a crack to resolve a weighty issue in determining how futures will be considered in the RTO’s 2021 transmission plan study.

SPP staff are expected to return to the MOPC with a proposal for a “strategic survey” following numerous occurrences of conservative operations last summer.

SPP members moved to eliminate Z2 revenue credits for sponsored transmission upgrades, the source of years of stakeholder frustrations and jokes.

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