What SPP does
SPP operates the grid across the Great Plains, a region known for strong wind. It runs energy markets, plans transmission and manages the interconnection queue for new generators. It is regulated by FERC. Its footprint has been growing, so check SPP for the current map.
SPP and Texas
The Texas Panhandle and parts of Northeast Texas are in SPP, not in ERCOT. A site there follows SPP and local utility rules. For Texas sites outside ERCOT, Voltane shows ERCOT queue figures as unknown.
Questions people ask
Is SPP part of ERCOT?
No. They are separate grids with separate rules and prices, joined only by limited ties.
Can Voltane find me a site in SPP?
Not today. Find me a site covers ERCOT in Texas. Analyze my site, by request for now, takes a site you already have in the contiguous United States.
