2.14 Current Hour Transmission Service
Current-hour transmission service is non-firm hourly or secondary transmission service to be
utilized within the current hour or within the next hour but submitted less than 30 minutes prior to
the start of the hour. The following describes SPP’s business practice concerning the provision of
current-hour transmission service.
Business Practice
Requests for current-hour transmission service:

Must be made on the OASIS.

Are limited to a single hour.

Must be made for a full hour even if the intent is to schedule the service for a partial hour.

Must be scheduled and tagged and are subject to applicable scheduling timing
requirements and approvals.

Are not to be used by the transmission customer to request service for transmission
usage after the fact.

Must be PreConfirmed
