Transmission planning and generator interconnection integration
The objective of this initiative is to integrate some components of the transmission planning and generator interconnection procedures so that ratepayer-funded transmission additions and upgrades are identified and approved under a single comprehensive process. The new process will provide incentives for resource developers to interconnect to the ISO grid at the most cost-effective locations. This effort builds on the FERC-approved revised transmission planning process, the generator interconnection procedures enhancements and generator interconnection Phase 2 discussions.
