NEWS: FERC has greenlit SPP’s proposal to offer data centers (temporary) transmission service.

  • Getting the CHILLS: The grid operator will offer a special type of transmission service—known as Conditional High Impact Large Load Service (CHILLS)—to data centers and other large loads. 

  • The condition? SPP will curtail CHILLS during grid emergencies or “other unforeseen conditions.” Large loads will participate for up to seven years, giving them time to get firm service in order.
