U.S. grid operators, the ISOs and RTOs across the country, were well prepared for the first continent-wide total solar eclipse in nearly a century.

The MISO rejection of the last possible interregional transmission project resulting from a coordinated study with SPP surprised the latter RTO.

MISO is yanking support on the project resulting from a study with SPP, nixing its chances this year to collaborate on an interregional project.

Next week’s total solar eclipse will not disrupt SPP operations despite 100% obscuration levels in parts of its 14-state footprint.

NERC will host a webinar Aug. 25 to help the current members of SPP’s Regional Entity transition to new compliance authorities.

SPP is accepting applications from industry experts for an independent panel reviewing the RTO’s 2018 competitive transmission construction proposals.

SPP and Peak Reliability extolled their virtues before the Colorado PUC in a bid to provide the reliability coordination function for Mountain West.

Having agreed on a first potential interregional transmission project with MISO, SPP is moving the 115-kV line in South Dakota through regional review.

SPP members are advancing at least two alternative solutions to address the RTO’s complicated crediting system for transmission upgrades.

MISO and SPP have agreed upon a memorandum of understanding that will enable them to emulate multiple MISO-PJM interregional plans.
