[Docket No. AD22-8-000]
Transmission Planning and Cost Management; Notice of Technical
Conference
Take notice that the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
(Commission) will convene a Commissioner-led technical conference
regarding transmission planning and cost management for transmission
facilities developed through local or regional transmission planning
processes in the above-captioned proceeding on October 6, 2022, from
approximately 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
The technical conference will explore measures to ensure sufficient
transparency into and cost effectiveness of local and regional
transmission planning decisions, including: (1) The role of cost
management measures in ensuring the cost effective identification of
local transmission needs (e.g., planning criteria) and solutions to
address identified local transmission and regional reliability-related
transmission needs; and (2) cost considerations and the processes
through which transmission developers recover their costs to ensure
just and reasonable transmission rates. The technical conference will
also consider potential approaches to providing enhanced cost
management measures and greater transparency and oversight if needed to
ensure just and reasonable transmission rates, such as a role for an
independent transmission monitor to the extent it is consistent with
the Commission's authority.
Specific topics for discussion at the technical conference may
include: (1) How transmission owners establish local transmission
planning criteria and use their local transmission planning criteria to
identify local transmission needs, and the effectiveness of cost
management, transparency, and oversight measures in those processes;
(2) how public utility transmission providers identify transmission
projects in local and regional reliability transmission planning
processes; and (3) whether enhanced cost management, transparency, and
oversight measures over: (a) Local and regional transmission planning
processes, (b) the costs transmission owners expend on transmission
facilities, (c) and the recovery of those costs through rates could
help to ensure just and reasonable transmission rates.
Individuals interested in participating as panelists should submit
a self-nomination email by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on June 16, 2022, to
