FERC upheld its May 2023 order reinstituting de-pancaking provisions in LG&E/KU’s transmission rates, now the subject of a challenge before the D.C. Circuit.  

SPP and MISO plan to draft a white paper on rate pancaking and unreserved use, two issues that bedevil utilities along the RTOs’ seam.

SPP is pushing a hybrid approach to its congestion-hedging process by first equitably allocating congestion rights and then increasing the pool of awards.

A working group inventorying rate pancaking issues on the MISO-SPP seams have developed a strawman with four recommendations to improve transmission service.

SPP’s market-to-market settlements with MISO exceeded $20 million in October for the second time in 12 months.

MISO and SPP state regulators are trying to inventory the instances and costs of duplicate transmission charges along their seams to mitigate rate pancaking.
