Summary

FERC issued Order 195FERC61,015 accepting Southwest Power Pool, Inc.'s February 6, 2026 filing of proposed revisions to Attachment AA of its Open Access Transmission Tariff. The revisions extend the applicability of Resource Adequacy Requirements to additional market participants within SPP's regional transmission organization footprint. This acceptance order takes effect immediately, binding affected transmission customers to the modified resource adequacy obligations.

What changed

FERC accepted Southwest Power Pool's tariff revisions that expand the scope of Resource Adequacy Requirements under Attachment AA of SPP's Open Access Transmission Tariff. The acceptance extends these requirements to additional entities or circumstances within SPP's RTO region. This final order concludes FERC's review of the filing under docket ER26-1287, confirming the revisions comply with applicable regulatory standards.

Transmission customers, load-serving entities, and generation owners operating within SPP's footprint that were newly brought within the scope of Resource Adequacy Requirements must now ensure compliance with the extended obligations. Parties should review the specific applicability criteria in the accepted Attachment AA revisions to identify any new compliance, reporting, or capacity obligation requirements. Failure to comply with accepted tariff provisions may result in FERC enforcement action.

What to do next

  1. Review revised Attachment AA Resource Adequacy Requirements to determine applicability to your operations
  2. Update compliance programs to reflect extended applicability of SPP resource adequacy obligations
  3. Confirm registration and reporting status with Southwest Power Pool if newly subject to requirements
