SPP's Seams Steering Comm. discussed the RTO's agreement with MISO and upcoming meetings between the Regional State Comm. and the Org. of MISO States.

MISO staff are done assembling the RTO’s 2019 Transmission Expansion Plan, presenting a nearly $4 billion draft package to the Board of Directors.

The SPP Seams Steering Committee discussed last month's level 1 energy emergency alert and, the RTO's 3rd unsuccessful attempt to partner with MISO.

FERC dismissed a second request from Linden VFT to rehear its order denying reconsideration of cost allocations for PJM cross-seams projects with MISO.

The possibility of a MISO-SPP transmission expansion must wait, as the RTOs concluded their third coordinated system plan without a single project.

MISO and SPP are making earnest efforts to coordinate transmission development along their shared seam, according to speakers at MARC.

FERC approved changes to the MISO-SPP joint operating agreement intended to improve an interregional planning process that has yet to produce projects.

The Organization of MISO States issued a set of principles intended to guide the RTO’s approach to long-term transmission planning.

Stakeholders gave MISO leadership mixed signals on what they expect from seams policy, though they agreed the RTO shouldn’t strive for exacting consistency in how it deals with different neighbors.

Transmission developers, planners and regulators gathered at the Key Bridge Marriott in Arlington, Va., for Infocast’s annual Transmission Summit East.
