Topic 1: Discussion of Specific Categories and Types of Transmission
Benefits That Transmission Providers Should Consider for the Purposes
of Transmission Planning and Cost Allocation
<bullet> The three specific categories/types of transmission
facilities considered for the purposes of transmission planning and
cost allocation are reliability, economics, and public policy. Can and
should these three categories and types of transmission that are
considered for the purposes of transmission planning and cost
allocation be expanded or changed? If so, what specific categories or
types of benefits should be considered for the purposes of allocating
the cost of transmission to ratepayers?
<bullet> Are the existing three categories of transmission being
adequately considered or can they be improved upon--either separately
or together--and if so how?
<bullet> Are there any specific benefits being considered by
transmission providers today that should be more widely adopted by
other transmission providers? Are certain benefits unique to specific
regions?
<bullet> How should certainty of benefits be addressed? For
example, should benefits be quantifiable? What tools are available or
should be developed to account for uncertainty?
Topic 2: Discussion of Cost Allocation Principles, Methodologies, and
Decision Processes for the Purposes of Transmission Planning and Cost
Allocation
<bullet> Are current cost allocation methodologies used by
transmission providers allocating costs roughly commensurate with
estimated benefits, and if not, how should this be improved?
<bullet> Under what set of benefits--both existing and expanded--
would states be amenable to bearing the costs of transmission that is
expected to deliver those estimated benefits to ratepayers?
<bullet> Is there sufficient opportunity for stakeholders,
including states, to collaborate in the development and approval of
cost allocation methodologies to build consensus among and increase
buy-in from stakeholders within a transmission planning region, and if
not, how can this be improved?
