[Docket Nos. RM20-10-000; AD19-19-000]
Electric Transmission Incentives Policy Under Section 219 of the
Federal Power Act; Supplemental Notice of Workshop
As announced in the Notice of Workshop issued in the above-
captioned proceedings on April 15, 2021, Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission (Commission) staff will convene a workshop to discuss
certain shared savings incentive approaches that may foster deployment
of transmission technologies. The workshop will be held on Friday,
September 10, 2021, from approximately 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Eastern
Time. The workshop will be held virtually via WebEx. Commissioners may
attend and participate.
Transmission technologies, as deployed in certain circumstances,
may enhance reliability, efficiency, and capacity, and improve the
operation of new or existing transmission facilities. The workshop will
discuss issues related to shared savings approaches \1\ for
transmission technologies seeking incentives under Federal Power Act
section 219.\2\ The workshop will focus on how to calculate ex ante and
ex post benefit analyses for transmission technologies seeking
incentives. Specifically, the workshop will explore the maturity of the
modeling approaches for various transmission technologies; the data
needed to study the benefits/costs of such technologies; issues
pertaining to access to or confidentiality of this data; the time
horizons that should be considered for such studies; and other issues
related to verifying forecasted benefits. The workshop may also discuss
other issues, including whether and how to account for circumstances in
which benefits do not materialize as anticipated.
