SPP says ample wind generation during the January winter storm enabled it to export as much as 3,500 MW to its neighbors in the Eastern Interconnection.

SPP’s Board of Directors approved an updated assessment of the RTO’s 2025 transmission plan that corrects two minor errors and will re-evaluate a third project recently designated as a competitive upgrade.

SPP’s Board of Directors has awarded its eighth competitive project and third in 2025 under FERC Order 1000, a 345-kV upgrade in the Texas Panhandle.

The SPP board has approved the RTO's 2025 Integrated Transmission Plan that includes four 765-kV projects.

SPP stakeholders have endorsed the RTO's 10-year transmission plan and some of its proposed 765-kV lines, trimming about $2.5 billion in costs from the portfolio.

SPP staff have reiterated their position to defer part of the RTO's planned 765-kV transmission overlay, setting aside about $7 billion in regional projects from its 2025 transmission assessment.

SPP says accelerating load projections will result in a 2025 transmission plan that dwarfs the previous year’s record $7.65 billion portfolio — so much so that it is considering deferring some projects until 2026.

SPP and its members are working together on a draft 765-kV transmission overlay as part of its 2025 Integrated Transmission Planning assessment that will dwarf 2024's record study.

SPP approved its sixth competitive project under FERC Order 1000, a 345-kV transmission line in Oklahoma, with two more upgrades in the pipeline.

SPP's Markets and Operations Policy Committee has endorsed the last of 21 recommendations made by a task force that reviewed the RTO's transmission and market operations last decade.
