[Docket No. AD23-3-000]
Establishing Interregional Transfer Capability Transmission
Planning and Cost Allocation Requirements; Notice of Staff-Led Workshop
Take notice that Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission)
staff will convene a workshop to discuss whether and how the Commission
could establish a minimum requirement for interregional transfer
capability \1\ for public utility transmission providers in
transmission planning and cost allocation processes in the above-
captioned proceeding on December 5 and 6, 2022, from approximately
12:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The Commission's regulations, as revised by Order No. 890,
define total transfer capability as ``the amount of electric power
that can be moved or transferred reliably from one area to another
area of the interconnected transmission systems by way of all
transmission lines (or paths) between those areas under specified
system conditions, or such definition as contained in Commission-
approved Reliability Standards.'' 18 CFR 35.6(b)(1)(vi) (2021). In
the context of interregional transfer capability, an ``area'' in the
above definition would be a transmission planning region.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This workshop will consider the question of whether and how to
establish a minimum requirement for interregional transfer capability.
Topics for discussion may include: how to identify the purpose and
value of setting a minimum requirement for interregional transfer
capability; how to develop appropriate criteria, metrics, and models to
establish a minimum requirement for interregional transfer capability;
the transmission planning horizon and minimum interregional transfer
capability requirements; whether operational agreements currently act
as a barrier to interregional transfer capability; and how the costs of
transmission facilities identified to achieve a minimum requirement for
interregional transfer capability should be allocated between and/or
within
[[Page 62094]]
public utility transmission providers' transmission planning regions.
The workshop will take place virtually, with remote participation
from both presenters and attendees. Further details on remote
