Supply Adequacy Working Group

Supply Adequacy Working Group

The Supply Adequacy Working Group (SAWG) develops and oversees policies and procedures related to reliable supply adequacy within the SPP footprint. This includes ensuring that these policies and procedures meet the compliance obligations of North American Electric Reliability Corporation reliability standards.

The SAWG is comprised of representatives from SPP’s membership and two non-voting Cost Allocation Working Group members. The SAWG scope in the governing documents folder provides more information about this group and its work.
