SPP successfully launched its WEIS market, making it the first RTO with power markets in both the Western and Eastern Interconnections.

Stakeholders in SPP’s Western Imbalance Service market unanimously approved its Feb. 1 launch, the last major milestone in a project that began in 2019.

Last year SPP's Board of Directors appointed Barbara Sugg as CEO, and she wasted little time implementing her vision for the RTO.

FERC handed SPP an early Christmas present when it approved the RTO’s second version of a tariff for its five-minute WEIS market.

SPP offered stakeholders a deep dive into an analysis of the RTO’s Western regional market that projects millions in savings for members.

SPP’s WEIS stakeholders voted to move forward with parallel operations, the final test before the WEIS market’s planned February launch.

A discussion on diversity in the energy industry, hosted by CREPC-WIRAB, delved into resource adequacy and the potential for a Western RTO.

SPP staff are preparing to address critical comments on the grid operator’s revised WEIS Tariff as they work to keep the project on track.

SPP’s board and Members Committee met outside of their normal quarterly schedule to consider a number of pressing issues.

SPP will add eight generating resources that are part of Gridforce’s balancing authority to its reliability coordinator footprint.
