Southwest Power Pool and MISO continue to study seven potential joint transmission projects across their seam. Next: developing the 2017 joint study.

The Southwest Power Pool (SPP) says it has successfully implemented system changes required by FERC Order 809, improving gas-electric coordination.

Southwest Power Pool (SPP) stakeholders have recommended the RTO’s leadership reject $114 million in remaining waiver requests for Z2 transmission upgrades.

SPP says improved wind forecasting and coordination with gas pipelines have the RTO well prepared for the coming winter.

FERC said MISO's current schedule doesn’t allow gas-fired generators enough time to procure fuel.

SPP is confident of its preparation for winter, although it will be adding the winter-peaking Integrated System to its footprint in October.

PJM confirmed last week that it will seek to move the deadline for submitting day-ahead offers up 90 minutes, from noon to 10:30 a.m. ET.

SPP's Markets and Operations Policy Committee will vote this week on a recommendation to move the deadline for day-ahead market offers up 90 minutes to 9:30 a.m. CT.

FERC on Thursday approved a rule to improve coordination of the natural gas and electric markets, adopting two gas scheduling changes but declining to move the start of the gas day to 4 a.m. CT from 9 a.m.
