("SPP") Open Access Transmission Tariff ("OATT") proposals that, as FERC found, provided Auction Revenue Rights ("ARRs") and Long-term Congestion Rights ("LTCRs") on an unjust and unreasonable basis ("May 2018 Orders'). FERC's previous orders, both issued on October 19, 2017 ("October 2017 Orders'), found that SPP was impermissibly providing ARRs and LTCRs for network service subject to "redispatch" (or, curtailment), on the same basis as network service not subject to redispatch (see October 25, 2017 edition of the VVER). In these latest orders, FERC rejected claims that, among other things, the October 2017 Orders had violated the contract rights of eligible network customers and that they constituted unlawful retroactive agency action.
