In recent years, we have seen a surging interest from developers in SPP, with over 100 GW of projects currently in SPP’s interconnection queue. Growth in SPP shows no signs of slowing, with reserve margin requirements set to increase and SPP’s generation mix evolving due to the ongoing retirement of coal plants and installation of natural gas and renewable generation. Understanding the critical challenges and opportunities within the region is now more important than ever.
This report will address the following questions:
- How ongoing market-driven and policy-driven factors are impacting SPP’s load growth and generation mix on a regional basis within SPP;
- The expected evolution of SPP’s total capacity and breakdown by generation source; and
- The expected regional breakdown of ATC wholesale prices, spreads, and resource adequacy prices through 2050.
