Q1 2016 Project Tracking Report 2
Executive Summary
SPP actively monitors and supports the progress of transmission expansion projects, emphasizing the importance of maintaining accountability for areas such as grid regional reliability standards, firm transmission commitments and Tariff cost recovery. Each quarter SPP staff solicits feedback from the project owners to determine the progress of each approved transmission project. This quarterly report charts the progress of all SPP Transmission Expansion Plan (STEP) projects approved either directly by the SPP Board of Directors (Board) or through a FERC filed service agreement under the SPP Open Access Transmission Tariff (OATT). The reporting period for this report is August 1, 2015 through October 31, 2015. Table 1 provides a summary of all projects in the current Project Tracking Portfolio (PTP), which includes all Network Upgrades in which construction activities are ongoing, or construction has completed but not all the close-out requirements have been fulfilled in accordance to Section 13 of Business Practice 7060. The PTP includes all active Network Upgrades including transmission lines, transformers, substations, and devices. Table 1 below summarizes the PTP for this quarter. Figures 1 reflects the percentage cost of each upgrade type in the PTP. Figure 2 shows the percentage cost of each project status in the PTP.

NTC Project Summary
In adherence to the OATT and Business Practice 7060, SPP issues Notifications to Construct (NTCs) to Designated Transmission Owners (DTOs) to commence the construction of Network Upgrades that have been approved or endorsed by the Board intended to meet the construction needs of the STEP, OATT, or Regional Transmission Organization (RTO). Figure 3 reflects project status within each source study, and Table 2 provides the supporting data. Figure 4 shows the amount of estimated cost by in-service year for all Network Upgrades that have been issued an NTC or NTC-C. Figure 5 shows the cost trend of all the Board-approved studies that have resulted in NTCs. Note: Figures 3, 4, and 5, and Table 2 provide data for all projects for which SPP has issued an NTC or NTC-C, regardless of completion date, and therefore include data from Network Upgrades no longer included in PTP.

NTC Issuance Three new NTCs were issued since the last quarterly report as a result of the completion of Aggregate Study, SPP-2014-AG1-AFS-6, with a total estimated cost of $19.9 million. NTC No. 200360 was issued to Southwestern Public Service Company (SPS) after they submitted an updated cost estimate to SPP in response to a Notification to Construct with Conditions (NTC-C). The NTC-C was issued as a result of the 2015 ITP Near-Term Assessment approved by the Board in January. For these Network Upgrades, all cost estimates were found to meet the conditional requirements of the NTC-C, and therefore SPS was issued an NTC for the Network Upgrades without the NTC-C conditions. The total estimated cost of the Network Upgrades described in this NTC is $30.0 million. Three NTCs were issued as a result of requested scope modifications by DTOs. The modifications were evaluated by Staff and determined to cause no adverse impact to the SPP Transmission System. Table 3 summarizes the NTC activity from October 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015. NTC ID values in bold font indicate NTC-Cs.

NTC Withdraw NTCs were withdrawn for 17 Network Upgrades since the last quarterly report, totaling an estimated $62.9 million. Sixteen of the withdrawn Network Upgrades were determined to no longer be needed as a part of the ongoing 2016 ITP Near-Term Assessment. The Board approved the withdrawals at its meeting in October.

project may change but time permits the implementation of project • Within NTC Commitment Window: NTC/NTC-C issued, still within the 90-day written
commitment to construct window and no commitment received • Within NTC-C Project Estimate Window: Within the NTC-C Project Estimate (CPE)
window • Within RFP Response Window: RFP issued for the project • Re-evaluation: Project active; pending re-evaluation • Suspended: Project suspended; pending re-evaluation

Balanced Portfolio
Approved in April 2009, the Balanced Portfolio was an initiative to develop a group of economic transmission upgrades that benefit the entire SPP region, and to allocate those project costs regionally. The projects that were issued NTCs as a result of the study include a diverse group of projects, estimated to add approximately 702 miles of new 345 kV transmission line to the SPP system. The total cost estimate for the projects making up the Balanced Portfolio increased 0.6% from the previous quarter to $831.5 million. Changes in the project costs this quarter are due to incorporating the latest information provided by the DTOs in their respective Formula Rate updates for completed projects. All the projects making up the Balanced Portfolio have been completed and placed into service. A final reallocation of Revenue Requirements for deficient Zone(s) will be performed once all actual costs have been reported. Figure 8 below depicts a historical view of the total estimated cost of the Balanced Portfolio. Table 9 provides a project summary of the projects making up the Balanced Portfolio.

Priority Projects
In April 2010 the SPP Board of Directors and Members Committee approved for construction a group of "priority" high voltage electric transmission projects estimated to bring benefits of at least $3.7 billion to the SPP region over 40 years. The projects issued NTCs as a result of the study are estimated to add 291 miles of new single circuit 345 kV transmission line and 435 miles of double circuit 345 kV transmission to the SPP region. In October 2010 the SPP Board of Directors approved an overall cost increase for the Priority Projects due to line rerouting and addition costs for reactive compensation. The total cost estimate for the Priority Projects after the variances were approved was $1.42 billion. The current total cost estimate of $1.32 billion for the projects making up the Priority Projects indicates an increase of 0.7% from the previous quarter’s total amount. Figure 9 below depicts a historical view of the total estimated cost of the Priority Projects. Table 10 provides a project summary of the projects making up the Priority Projects. Table 11 lists construction status updates for the Priority Projects not yet completed.

Out-of-Bandwidth Projects
In adherence to the Business Practice 7060, SPP reports projects that have updated cost values that exceed their established baseline values based upon a ±20% bandwidth. Variances are determined by total project cost. Six projects with a cost estimate greater than $5 million were identified as having exceeded the ±20% bandwidth requirement during the reporting period. Table 12 provides summary information and Table 13 lists the cost detail for the out-of-bandwidth projects for Q4 2015.
