On March 29, 2024, the Southwest Power Pool (SPP) submitted the Markets+ Tariff to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) for consideration and approval to establish their wholesale electricity market in the West. The Markets+ tariff development process was a stakeholder-led effort over the course of the last year, designing key elements of the market in various Working Groups and Task Forces. The Markets+ State Committee (MSC) was an active stakeholder throughout this process and meaningfully engaged with other regional stakeholders and Phase One Participants on issue development and resolution. As involved stakeholders and state representatives from across the region, the MSC formally submitted comments to FERC in response to the Markets+ Tariff, addressing some concerns around the market design and expressing interest in the continued collaboration between the MSC, SPP, and other stakeholders. The Motion to Intervene and Comments of the MSC can be found below.
