Dive Brief:
Nebraska-based energy developer Tenaska on Friday filed a complaint with federal regulators, alleging that the Southwest Power Pool s (SPP) multi-million dollar increase in charges related to interconnecting a wind project are unjust and unreasonable.
According to Tenaska s complaint, the grid operator initially told the company that its 242 MW Clear Creek project in Missouri, which began commercial operation last year, would require $16 million in network upgrades. The developer says SPP later more than doubled those estimates to $33.5 million, and ultimately proposed Tenaska pay $99 million in charges related to interconnection upgrades.
Tenaska and the renewables industry say the additional costs, nearly $66 million over SPP s second estimate, highlight the need for FERC to reform transmission planning and cost allocation in order to provide renewable energy developers with transparency and certainty in developing new projects.
