Join us from 2-3 p.m. CT Thursday, April 6, as we host the free webinar: “Understanding New SPP Market Initiatives: RTO West and Markets+.”
About this webinar
Southwest Power Pool (SPP) is preparing for two new market initiatives in the West:
- RTO West market: Currently, nine utilities in the West are working with SPP to form RTO West, a full-blown RTO market with Day-Ahead and Real-Time (DART) markets for energy and ancillary services, Transmission Congestion Rights (TCR) and Auction Revenue Rights (ARR) for congestion hedging, reliability coordination, resource adequacy, Balancing Authority Area (BAA) consolidation, and joint transmission planning. Note that the SPP RTO West footprint will be jointly optimized with the SPP Integrated Marketplace footprint.
- Markets+: Right now, four to 31 utilities in the West plan to join Markets+, which is a combined DART market with reliability coordination and resource adequacy.
What you’ll take away from this webinar:
- An understanding of the design for the two new SPP markets: RTO West and Markets+
- Familiarity with front- and back-office workflows for SPP participants who plan to join either RTO West or Markets+
- PCI recommendations on how to best prepare for these two new SPP markets
