SPP is the Best Choice for Entergy and for Arkansas Ratepayers

摘要

As the Arkansas Public Service Commission (APSC) considers options after Entergy Arkansas exits the Entergy System Agreement in 2013, Southwest Power Pool Inc. (SPP) explains why it is the best choice for Entergy and Arkansas ratepayers. SPP agrees with Entergy that membership in a regional transmission organization brings benefits to utilities and their customers - such as centralized electric grid operations, access to wholesale energy markets and collaborative planning for the grid's future needs - but disagrees that the Carmel, Indiana, U.S.-based Midwest Independent Transmission System Operator (MISO) is a better option for Arkansas.
