SPP’s Board of Directors approved an updated assessment of the RTO’s 2025 transmission plan that corrects two minor errors and will re-evaluate a third project recently designated as a competitive upgrade.

SPP’s Board of Directors has awarded its eighth competitive project and third in 2025 under FERC Order 1000, a 345-kV upgrade in the Texas Panhandle.

The SPP board has approved the RTO's 2025 Integrated Transmission Plan that includes four 765-kV projects.

SPP’s Board of Directors has approved a pair of contentious measures that were put aside during its August quarterly meeting, a tariff change to integrate and operate high-impact large loads and a revised cost estimate for a 765-kV transmission project.

SPP and its members are working together on a draft 765-kV transmission overlay as part of its 2025 Integrated Transmission Planning assessment that will dwarf 2024's record study.

Vice Chair Ray Hepper has been serving as the SPP Board of Directors' chair in place of John Cupparo, who is stepping away from the position's time requirements.

SPP approved its seventh competitive project under FERC Order 1000, a 19-mile, 115-kV new transmission line with an estimated cost of $45.5 million in the Texas-New Mexico area.

SPP’s Board of Directors agreed to defer action on a 765-kV transmission project with a ballooning cost estimate and staff’s large load integration policy, both the source of much stakeholder discussion.

SPP’s Board of Directors has approved a tariff change establishing an integrated, three-year transmission planning cycle that represents a “first-in-the-country” mechanism.
