ACEG Transmission Time Webinar: Wildfires and Electric Transmission

A recent report from the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) found that this summer there are anticipated adequacy risks due to expected extreme heat events that affect generation, wind output, and transmission systems, coupled with demand growth. With extreme heat and wildfires increasing in frequency over the last few decades, it’s more important than […]

ACEG Transmission Time Webinar: A Deep Dive Into Interregional Transmission Planning

Interregional transmission planning is essential for connecting diverse energy resources across regions, ensuring grid stability, and reducing customer costs. The North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) is conducting an Interregional Transfer Capability Study (ITCS) study to be filed with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) this December, and FERC is expected to act on interregional […]

ACEG Transmission Time Webinar: Powering Texas: The Case for a 765-kV Transmission Backbone

Twenty years ago, the Texas legislature passed Texas Senate Bill 20 to designate competitive renewable energy zones (CREZ) and develop a transmission plan to deliver power from CREZ to customers, while maintaining reliability and cost-effectiveness. Now, the state is considering construction of a new 765-kV transmission “backbone,” which would lower congestion costs and energy losses, […]
