About the Program
Program Governance Details | Protocols | CWG | MWG | MOPC | Contact Us
The Integrated Marketplace program's leadership structure is aligned with the SPP business model to enable continued operations of ongoing critical functions and addressing potential gaps between current and future operations. The program's leadership is responsible for the Integrated Marketplace's overall delivery, based on the specified scope, schedule, and budget.
Working Group Leadership
The Market Working Group develops and coordinates changes necessary to support SPP-administered wholesale markets and is writing the protocols (i.e., business rules) that will define the Integrated Marketplace's operation. These rules are revised using SPP's normal Protocol Revision Requests (PRR) process.
The Change Working Group (CWG) engages market participants and monitors market and SPP readiness for the Integrated Marketplace. The CWG makes project management and process improvement recommendations to SPP staff and/or the Market and Operations Policy Committee.
Workstream Liaison Leadership
The Marketplace program and the CWG have worked together to set up market participant (MP) liaisons for the member-impacting workstreams. The liaison's responsibilities include working with their CWG representative, SPP, and the MPs' program management to:
- Review and provide feedback on program and workstream documentation.
- Assess feasibility of milestones and deliverables.
- Provide and report on readiness of entrance/exit criteria for program's phases.
