MISO and SPP are ready to reform their interregional planning process to improve their shot at producing their first cross-border transmission project.

FERC rejected MISO's proposed pro forma agreement for pseudo-tying generation into PJM, saying the rules around termination were too broad.

MISO is weighing how it can improve its interregional process and joint operating agreement with SPP to make it easier to develop cross-seams projects.

FERC ordered a technical conference on how PJM, MISO and SPP coordinate generator interconnection studies on projects near their seams.

SPP set several new records for wind generation, lending further credence to its claims that it can handle wind-penetration levels as high as 75%.

Panelists at EUCI’s Transmission Expansion in the Midwest conference said industry must focus on exporting wind energy and overcoming seams processes.

SPP stakeholders discussed a recent AEP complaint filed at FERC against the RTO and MISO related to overlapping congestion charges for pseudo-ties.

The MISO rejection of the last possible interregional transmission project resulting from a coordinated study with SPP surprised the latter RTO.

NERC will host a webinar Aug. 25 to help the current members of SPP’s Regional Entity transition to new compliance authorities.

The SPP Board of Directors and Members Committee approved MOPC's decision to let the Z2, Export Pricing and Gas-Electric Coordination task forces expire.
