Southwest Power Pool

Southwest Power Pool, the Regional Transmission Organization ("RTO"), plays a crucial role in managing the bulk electric transmission system across a vast region of the central United States which includes Oklahoma. To ensure a smooth and regionally coordinated approach, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”) played a key part in establishing the SPP RSC in 2004. This committee serves as a vital platform for state regulatory agencies to collectively influence and participate in SPP’s decision-making processes.

Per the SPP and RSC Bylaws, SPP members can only be voting members on SPP committees and working groups formed by the SPP Board of Directors. Relevant state regulatory agencies/commissions may only be voting members on the RSC and workings group formed by the RSC. The Oklahoma Corporation Commission has voting representation on the Regional State Committee (“RSC”), Cost Allocation Working Group (“CAWG”), the Resource and Energy Adequacy Leadership Team (“REAL Team”), and the Cost Control and Allocation Review and Evaluation Team ("CARE Team").
