FERC has conditionally accepted SPP’s plan to begin distributing millions of dollars in compensation to transmission upgrade sponsors.

SPP said operations in its West BAA have returned to normal after a forced outage resulted in a Level 3 energy emergency alert.

It’s that “wonderful time” of the year when there are three transmission planning studies underway at the same time.

Texas regulators have proposed several legislative remedies to give them and ERCOT more authority in regulating the development of large loads in the state, even as the grid sets new marks for peak demand.

SPP ended a second energy emergency alert (EEA) in five days in its Western balancing authority area after system conditions improved.

In remarks at a recent conference, American Clean Power Association CEO Jason Grumet emphasized the resiliency of the clean energy industry.

After two energy emergency alerts, SPP is moving quickly with a tariff change to address its resource adequacy challenges in the West.

American Electric Power (AEP) says it has submitted 45 GW of large load projects into ERCOT’s Batch Zero process.

ERCOT staff have waded into the Batch Zero study process and are evaluating 326 large-load projects totaling about 205 GW.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has halted ERCOT's large load interconnection process, otherwise known as the batch process.
