SPP and MISO are coordinating responses to their FERC filings to facilitate their Joint Transmission Interconnection Queue process and cost-allocation methodology.  

SPP says it is devoting significant resources to finally resolve Attachment Z2, a bone of contention among SPP stakeholders since 2016 -- by the end of this decade.

FERC accepted a second compliance filing from SPP outlining its process for determining its planning reserve margin with an order that found the RTO’s response met the commission’s directives.

SPP stakeholders have endorsed what one member called an “historic” transmission plan that will eclipse any previous portfolio by a factor of five with a projected cost of $7.65 billion.

MISO wants FERC to reconsider its decision to let a jointly managed flowgate with SPP stand, with the RTO arguing the North Dakota cryptomining facility burdening the line is SPP’s responsibility alone.

FERC Commissioner David Rosner told members of the American Clean Power Association that one of his main goals is to successfully manage the energy industry’s transition.

The Gulf Coast Power Association again reported a record attendance for its annual Fall Conference and discussions on the industry’s future, emerging grid technologies and Texas’ 2025 legislative session.

FERC issued a deficiency letter over SPP’s proposed revisions to its tariff, bylaws and membership agreements intended to facilitate nine western entities’ RTO membership as transmission owners.

Michael Desselle, SPP vice president and chief compliance and administrative officer, is retiring after 18 years with the RTO and 40 in the industry.
