Abstract
The transmission planning and development working group report builds upon the foundation and recommendations from the WIRED Resource Adequacy Working Group and works in harmony with the recommendations of the GHG Working Group. Ultimately, transmission planning and development is a mechanism to preserve reliability, facilitate access to low-cost energy and achieve resource and policy goals, and not an end in and of itself.
Description
In early 2020, the Center for the New Energy Economy (CNEE), at the request of the Western Energy Industry Leaders (WEIL), convened a group of Western governors' energy advisors along with a small but diverse group of experts representing utilities, power marketing administrations, renewable energy companies and clean energy advocates, collectively referred to as the "Western Interconnection Regional Electricity Dialogue" (WIRED). The goal of this effort is to provide a set of recommendations to governors by the end of the year. To achieve this goal, CNEE has facilitated a series of work group meetings to discuss and analyze a range of regional electricity issues including resource adequacy (RA), state clean energy and climate policies, and transmission development.
