Electric, LLC, Cheyenne Light, Fuel and Power Company, El Paso Electric 
Company, Public Service Company of Colorado, Tucson Electric Power 
Company, and UNS Electric, Inc. (collectively, SPP West Customers) 
filed a joint motion for deferral of the effective date for the Open 
Access Transmission Tariff (Tariff) revisions approved by the 
Commission \1\ to comply with the requirements of Order Nos. 881 and 
881-A.\2\ The SPP West Customers request that the Commission grant a 
deferral of the effective date of these Tariff revisions from September 
1, 2026, until April 1, 2027. The SPP West Customers explain that they 
receive reliability coordinator services from the Southwest Power Pool, 
Inc. (SPP), which recently filed a second motion for deferral of the 
effective date for its Order No. 881 tariff provisions due to delays in 
the delivery of crucial software necessary for SPP, and SPP 
transmission owners, to test and implement the systems and process 
necessary to comply with Order No. 881. Accordingly, the SPP West 
Customers have determined they must also request deferral of their 
respective Order No. 881 compliance tariff provisions.
