This first session was held on Friday, April 27 from 9am CDT to 1pm CDT. There were a total of 9 SPP Control Areas that participated during this session. Those Control Areas included; WR, KCPL, CSWS, WPEK, GRDA, MPS, SPS, SPA, and CLEC. Many thanks to all those companies that participated! We are hoping for a higher turnout at the next session. If you do not plan to participate during these parallel test sessions, please contact Barbara Gibson so arrangements can be made for your schedule approvals. These parallel test sessions are excellent opportunities for training and practice on the new system with live data being imported into RTO_SS. During the times that parallel testing is NOT in session, users can test additional functionality by creating their own sample tags and taking the various actions on those associated schedules, i.e. approving, denying, adjusting, canceling, etc. The system is available to users 24 hours per day. There will be 3 more parallel test sessions this week and finally 3 sessions the following week. The sessions this week are scheduled for: Tuesday, May 1 - 9am CDT - 1pm CDT Wednesday, May 2 - 9am CDT - 1pm CDT Friday, May 4 - 12pm CDT - 4pm CDT Please refer to the attached document for more details regarding logins, test information, etc. We still do not have many sources and sinks set up for the different Generation Providers and Load Serving Entities that wish to have direct approval rights on the schedules. If you are a GP or LSE and need to get this data set up, please call Barbara Gibson or Shari Brown at SPP.
