An expert webinar on confronting and overcoming the challenges facing the transmission development that is necessary to support the nation’s ramp-up in wind and other renewables.


Background

Transmission is renewable energy’s extension cord. Unless the obstacles to the cord are eased, the boom in transmission development that is vitally needed to green the nation’s electric supply will never happen.

The public must come to see that transmission and renewables are inextricably linked. In the energy debates ahead, how can the critical need be shown to reform transmission siting, interconnection and cost allocation processes?

Join this discussion on the key obstacles to needed transmission development, developers’ best practices for overcoming the obstacles, and potential reform initiatives.

Agenda:

- What is it about transmission approval processes that gives such deference to and so empowers project opponents and why is the “carbon footprint” of obstructing projects not considered?
- What’s working or not working in bringing transmission projects to construction
- What changes can be incorporated in federal energy legislation this fall to ease transmission’s obstacles
- What else can be done to reform the transmission processes of the FERC, federal agencies, RTOs and the states
