FERC has approved SPP’s data center “fast lane.” (OK Energy Today)
What it is: SPP’s High Impact Large Load (HILL) proposal establishes a streamlined 90-day approval process for massive new energy users that bring their own power.
Why it matters: SPP CEO Lanny Nickell calls it the first framework in the US to integrate transmission, generation, and load interconnection into one process. FERC Commissioner David Rosner is now urging other grid operators to copy the approach to keep up with exploding demand.
