SPP staff assured stakeholders they are looking into the causes of congestion around the MISO seam following a third month of record M2M settlements.

SPP has begun gathering stakeholder feedback as staff works to again improve its project selection processes under FERC Order 1000.

Southeastern utilities and cooperatives, led by Duke and Southern Co., said they will seek FERC approval to launch a 15-minute energy market.

FERC approved a settlement between SERC Reliability and Associated Electric Cooperative Inc. for violations of NERC reliability standards.

SPP considered several seams-related projects with MISO through their 2020 ITP, but declined to pursue them over differences in calculating benefits and costs.

FERC approved a cost-and-usage agreement between SPP and AECI that could result in the RTO’s first competitive project under Order 1000.

SPP’s board and Members Committee met outside of their normal quarterly schedule to consider a number of pressing issues.

SPP and MISO staff shared with the SPP Seams Steering Committee additional details on the yearlong transmission study the RTOs will soon pursue.

SPP identified a couple potential joint projects with MISO but none with Associated Electric Cooperative Inc.

SPP‘s Board of Directors approved a recommendation that resolves uncertainty over the weighting of futures in the 2021 transmission planning assessment.
