FERC set Xcel’s challenge to GridLiance High Plains’ ATRR to for settlement procedures, and approved Evergy Kansas Central's settlement.

FERC issued orders implementing rulemaking to eliminate barriers to energy storage’s participation in electric markets, accepting PJM's and SPP's proposals.

PJM, ISO-NE and SPP appear to be thwarting Order 1000’s intent to open transmission projects to competition by abusing the “immediate need” exemption.

Southwest Power Pool (SPP) met 73.67% of its demand October 9th with wind, hydro and other non-fossil resources when SPP’s load was 22.5 GW.

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.

CAISO, ISO-NE and NYISO look to be the pacesetters in opening the country’s organized electricity markets to greater participation by DERs.

FERC said SPP’s proposal to add “load-serving entity” and “non-load-serving entity” to its membership agreement became effective due to its lack of quorum.

ERCOT staffers and stakeholders gathered to hear advice from the RTOs that have already implemented real-time co-optimization in their markets.

FERC established briefing procedures for MISO and SPP as it investigates “overlapping and duplicative” congestion charges on pseudo-tie transactions.
