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 and MISO plan to apply for grants from the Department of Energy to help fund five transmission projects recently identified in their JTIQ work.

MISO and SPP announced that they plan to ditch their current affected systems study process for more interregional transmission studies like their JTIQ study.

Clean Grid Alliance asked MISO to develop a means to see late-stage projects through its generator interconnection queue when they’re delayed.

SPP stakeholders endorsed the RTO’s latest transmission planning assessment but also withheld approval of a 345-kV, double-circuit project in West Texas.

MISO and SPP's joint targeted interconnection queue study turned up the first transmission projects that could help generation interconnect near the seams.

SPP accrued $13.25 million in market-to-market settlements from MISO for April, pushing its total to $146.63 million since the process began in 2014.

The MISO-SPP joint targeted interconnection queue study has moved into its technical phase with a promise of more stakeholder involvement.

SPP raked in another $27.87 million in market-to-market settlements from MISO during December and January, pushing its total to $168.11 million.

SPP’s average hourly load was off 7% last fall from the previous two years, the RTO’s MMU said in its latest quarterly State of the Market report.
