READINESS
READINESS
•
What does Readiness mean for the project?
•
Stakeholder Relations will be reporting both internally and externally
on the progress of each Market Participant while onboarding.
•
Each Market Participant will provide a percentage of completion on
major milestones within the project, if a percentage is low this will let
SPP know that an outreach to the Market Participant maybe needed
for assistance.
•
A list of the major milestones will be provided five days prior to the
next bi-weekly meeting. Companies will list their percentage and we
will compile and communicate the data.
•
This information is vital to the success of the project so we all make it
to April 1, 2026 together.

Assign and remove roles for users
•
Assign and remove roles for themselves and
other LSAs under their own entity code

LSAs
CANNOT:

Add another LSA – SPP has to set the LSA
up - this will require a RMS ticket
•
Remove another LSA – SPP has to do this –
this will require a RMS ticket
•
If an LSAs password has expired and they
can’t get into the portal – the backup LSA
will need to reset the password for them

PSEUDO-TYING ASSETS INTO AND OUT OF THE SPP
BA
•
What is a pseudo-tie?
•
Dynamic transfer accounted for in the NAI portion of the ACE
equation
•
SPP Tariff Attachment AO – Addendum 1
•
Agreement between SPP, External BA, and Market Participant
•
New/additional transmission service may be required, which
provides opportunity for a DAMKT congestion hedge
•
Real-time congestion and losses market settlements still apply
for pseudo-tied out assets
THESE FACTORS DRIVE THE NEED FOR CHANGE
•
Existing Balancing Areas (WACM and WAUW) are ceasing to
provide balancing services.
•
SPP BA will be created to cover the load and generation in
the existing Balancing Areas.
•
Creation of this BA will require preparation.
WHAT IS CHANGING?
•
Balancing Area boundary
•
Need to identify all differences between the new SPP West BAA
boundary and the existing WACM and WAUW boundaries.
•
All generation and load within the SPP West BAA must register as a full
participant in the SPP Marketplace.
•
SPP will become responsible for the NERC BA responsibility.
•
Tariff boundary
•
Need to identify all facilities that will move under SPP’s functional control.
•
Need to confirm/review/convert Transmission Service.
•
Need to move in-flight GIA into SPP’s GI process – We will be working
with those companies that are not SPP Transmission Customer to
complete that registration.

APPENDIX 1 OF AH AGREEMENT
If an AO MP is registering as a
Transmission Customer, this
section will need to be

All MPs must complete both
The MP information and Asset
Owner Information sections.
Even though FOs do not have
Assets, our system will need
an asset owner name
for billing purposes.
APPENDIX B OF MCST USER GUIDE
NAMING CONVENTIONS
•
Section 6.7 of the SPP protocols provides guidance on SPP
naming conventions for the following:
•
Settlement Locations (SL)
•
Meter Data Submittal Locations (MDSL)
•
Source and/or Sink Name
•
Resource Asset Name
•
Load Asset Name
OATI EIR AND OASIS REGISTRATION INFORMATION
EIR Registration #1: Asset Owning Market Participants must register their assets’ Source/Sink
EIR Registration #1: Asset Owning Market Participants must register their assets’ Source/Sink
in OATI webRegistry.
in OATI webRegistry.
Electric Industry Registry (EIR) is an industry-wide database managed by OATI but owned by the
North American Electric Standards Board (NAESB). These registrations must be in place to allow
you to schedule any confirmed reservations you own.
Registration #2: Transmission Customer
Registration #2: Transmission Customer
will register with WebRegistry as a Purchasing Selling
Entity (PSE) & with OATI OASIS as a customer. If the Transmission Customer is mapped to a Market
Participant they will also need to register SPP’s North and South Hubs for tagging purposes.
OATI is the vendor that manages the SPP OASIS site and this registration as a customer of OATI will allow you
access to the SPP OASIS. This registration is critical as this registration must be in place (allowing SPP to
recognize your TC as a valid, active Transmission Customer).
CROW
SPP and MPs use this tool to manage impacts of forced
outages, coordinated future maintenance and system
expansion, and make smart decisions that benefit our region.

READINESS What does Readiness mean for the project? Stakeholder Relations will be reporting both internally and externally on the progress of each Market Participant while onboarding. Each Market Participant will provide a percentage of completion on major milestones within the project, if a percentage is low this will let SPP know that an outreach to the Market Participant maybe needed for assistance. A list of the major milestones will be provided five days prior to the next bi-weekly meeting. Companies will list their percentage and we will compile and communicate the data. This information is vital to the success of the project so we all make it to April 1, 2026 together. 6 SPP Internal Only

All generation and load within the SPP West BAA must register as a full participant in the SPP Marketplace. SPP will become responsible for the NERC BA responsibility. Tariff boundary Need to identify all facilities that will move under SPP s functional control. Need to confirm/review/convert Transmission Service.

OATI EIR AND OASIS REGISTRATION INFORMATION EIR Registration #1: Asset Owning Market Participants must register their assets Source/Sink in OATI webRegistry. Electric Industry Registry (EIR) is an industry-wide database managed by OATI but owned by the North American Electric Standards Board (NAESB). These registrations must be in place to allow you to schedule any confirmed reservations you own. Registration #2: Transmission Customer will register with WebRegistry as a Purchasing Selling Entity (PSE) & with OATI OASIS as a customer. If the Transmission Customer is mapped to a Market Participant they will also need to register SPP s North and South Hubs for tagging purposes. OATI is the vendor that manages the SPP OASIS site and this registration as a customer of OATI will allow you access to the SPP OASIS. This registration is critical as this registration must be in place (allowing SPP to recognize your TC as a valid, active Transmission Customer). 43 SPP Internal Only
