📖 Research Context From Federal Register API

Summary:

The formula rates for the Rocky Mountain region's (RMR) Loveland Area Projects (LAP) transmission and ancillary services for RMR's costs to be recovered under the Southwest Power Pool's (SPP) Open Access Transmission Tariff (Tariff) should RMR decide to become a member of SPP, have been confirmed, approved, and placed into effect on an interim basis (Provisional Formula Rates).

The Provisional Formula Rates under Rate Schedules LAPT-ATRR, LAPT-DCTIE-IMEU, and LAPT-AS1 are effective on the first day of the first full billing period beginning on the later of the following events: (1) when RMR officially becomes a member of, and transfers functional control of LAP transmission facilities to, SPP; or (2) the go-live date of the expansion of the SPP Regional Transmission Organization into the Western Interconnection (scheduled for April 1, 2026, as of the date of this Rate Order).

These Provisional Formula Rates will remain in effect through March 31, 2031, pending confirmation and approval by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) on a final basis or until superseded. If RMR does not become a member of SPP, these rates will be canceled and the existing formula rates will remain in effect.
