The rationale for recommendation of projects mitigating a current top congested flowgate is included in Section 16. Alternative Project Analysis Methodology An Alternative Project Analysis (APA) was conducted by SPP staff in addition to the original scope of the portfolio development process. The APA included additional focus and evaluation of transmission projects in two target areas, the eastern seam of SPP and the Texas panhandle. This analysis was conducted to support SPP initiatives such as addressing the SPP seams, current operational issues, and zonal deficiencies identified through the Regional Cost Allocation Review (RCAR) process. The APA resulted in two alternative project recommendations that differed from the results of the consolidated portfolios. Eastern Seams There were two corridors along the eastern seam of SPP that were further analyzed as part of the APA: southeast Kansas to southwest Missouri, and northeast Oklahoma to northwest Arkansas. This area was selected for further analysis for multiple reasons: were six different constraints in this area that were identified as economic needs in at least one future of the 2017 ITP10, as detailed in Table 15.3. Three of these economic needs were among the top 10 most congested constraints in SPP in 2015, as indicated in the 2015 ASOM Report.
