But they would have similar issues in some more extreme situation. Why is it obvious that the big storm that SPP has anticipated and expended resources on is the right one? Or will there be a report like this when that storm arrives and SPP also has issues?

Not SPP. FERC. Winterization is required for any gear that's on an AC grid that crosses state lines. SPP is on the Eastern Interconnection. So all the players in SPP are required to winterize. ERCOT is entirely inside Texas, so they had a choice. And they chose.... poorly.

The SPP has taken steps to mitigate such risks. See their coverage area and other detail here https://spp.org/ https://spp.org/

  There is a winter weather event report that covers what happened in granular detail and lists all the initiatives in progress to lower the chances of something similar happening again.
