On Friday, March 31, the Western Interstate Energy Board (WIEB) hosted a webinar to discuss the draft charters for the Southwest Power Pool Markets+ State Committee (SPP-MSC) and the Western Power Pool (WPP) Western Resource Adequacy Program Committee of State Representatives (WRAP-COSR).
Eric Blank, Chairman of the Colorado Public Utilities Commission, has been designated to serve as the initial Chair of the SPP-MSC. Tammy Cordova, Commissioner for the Nevada Public Utilities Commission, and Mark Thompson, Commissioner for the Oregon Public Utility Commission, have been designated as the initial Chair and Vice-Chair, respectively, of the WRAP-COSR. Both charters have been developed to reflect the significant state engagement in prior governance discussions during the developmental phases of these two programs.
