Markets+ Transmission Availability Design Team
Markets+ Transmission Availability Design Team
Markets+ is a conceptual bundle of services proposed by SPP that would centralize day-ahead and real-time unit commitment and dispatch, provide hurdle-free transmission service across its footprint and pave the way for the reliable integration of a rapidly growing fleet of renewable generation.
The structure and selection of transmission availability services for Markets+ will be developed through a collaborative stakeholder process to maximize the transmission available to Markets+ while:
- maintaining transmission service provider (TSP) roles and responsibilities such as planning, rate setting & terms of service
- preserving firm network and point-to-point rights
- enabling base scheduling of energy, capacity and flexibility prior to Markets+ operating window
The Markets+ Transmission Availability Design Team is open to participation from any interested stakeholder.
Stakeholder Leads for the group are:
- Joe Taylor, Manager - Transmission Access, Xcel Energy
- Chris Hofmann, Director Transmission & Generation Operations, Salt River Project
- Mike Linn, Director - Market Analytics, Public Power Council
The SPP Staff Support Team for the group is:
- Steve Johnson, Principal Operations Specialist
- Hamilton Bitely, Senior Operations Analyst
- Shari Brown, Manager of Tariff Administration
