Title :
SPP transmission planning for SPP and beyond
Abstract :
Southwest power pool (SPP) is unique in its position as a NERC reliability entity with planning authority responsibilities, as well as a FERC approved regional transmission organization with an approved expansion planning process that continues to evolve and expand with time. SPP also provides contract services to Entergy and e.ON / LGE Energy for planning and tariff administration functions. In addition, SPP operates a reserve sharing group for the benefit of its members, as well as neighboring entitles like AECI, Entergy, etc. that provides a very cost effective and valued solution to maintain operational reliability.
