Welcome & Opening Remarks | FERC Transmission Planning & Cost Management Technical Conference

FERC Transmission Planning & Cost Management Technical Conference October 6, 2022. Docket No. AD22-8-000 Welcome and Opening Remarks from the Chairman and Commissioners. Video 1 of 6. Full Conference Video Link: https://youtu.be/8a6HXgBNeZE - Chairman Richard Glick - Commissioner Allison Clements - Commissioner Mark C. Christie - Commissioner Willie L. Phillips - Commissioner James Danly (via telephone) The purpose of this conference is to explore measures to ensure sufficient transparency into and cost effectiveness of local and regional transmission planning decisions, including: (1) the role of cost management measures in ensuring the cost-effective identification of local transmission needs (e.g., planning criteria) and solutions to address identified local transmission and regional reliability-related transmission needs; (2) cost considerations and the processes through which transmission developers recover their costs to ensure just and reasonable transmission rates. Additionally, this conference will also discuss potential approaches to providing enhanced cost management measures and greater transparency and oversight if needed to ensure just and reasonable transmission

Panel 1: Dev. and Use of Local Transmission Planning Criteria | Transmission Planning & Cost Mgmt.

FERC Transmission Planning & Cost Management Technical Conference October 6, 2022. Docket No. AD22-8-000 Panel 1: Development and Use of Local Transmission Planning Criteria Video 2 of 6. Full Conference Video Link: https://youtu.be/8a6HXgBNeZE Panel 1 addresses the processes by which transmission providers develop local transmission planning criteria, identify local transmission needs using those criteria, and evaluate and choose local transmission facilities to address those needs. Specifically, this panel will discuss how transmission providers develop local transmission planning criteria, including any transmission provider-specific criteria, as well as consider whether the process for developing these criteria is sufficiently transparent. Further, this panel will explore whether additional transparency is needed to ensure that stakeholders and other interested parties understand how a specific local transmission facility is the appropriate remedy to a local transmission need. Panelists: Kamran Ali – Vice President, Transmission Planning & Analysis, American Electric Power Company, Inc. Cameron Dyer – Senior Assistant General Counsel, Public Utilities Commission of Nev

Panel 2: Local Transmission Facility Cost Management Practices | Transmission Planning & Cost Mgmt.

FERC Transmission Planning & Cost Management Technical Conference October 6, 2022. Docket No. AD22-8-000 Panel 2: Local Transmission Facility Cost Management Practices Video 3 of 6. Full Conference Video Link: https://youtu.be/8a6HXgBNeZE Panel 2 explores whether local transmission facility costs are adequately scrutinized. Specifically, panelists will discuss challenges associated with cost management during all stages of the local transmission planning process: the identification of a local transmission need; the transmission provider’s evaluation of potential local transmission facilities to address an identified local transmission need; the transmission provider’s decision to choose a specific local transmission facility to meet that need; and the development of the local transmission facility. Additionally, this panel will explore whether there are any best practices in local transmission cost management. Finally, this panel will also discuss the roles that the Commission could play in ensuring appropriate cost management practices are in place. Panelists: Charles Marshall – Vice President of Transmission Planning, ITC Holdings Corporation Simon Hurd – Program

Panel 3: Regional Transmission Planning for Reliability | Transmission Planning & Cost Mgmt.

FERC Transmission Planning & Cost Management Technical Conference October 6, 2022. Docket No. AD22-8-000 Panel 3: Local Transmission Facility Cost Management Practices Video 4 of 6. Full Conference Video Link: https://youtu.be/8a6HXgBNeZE Panel 3 addresses the processes by which transmission providers evaluate, select, and develop regional transmission facilities for reliability. Specifically, this panel will discuss how transmission providers evaluate potential regional transmission facilities for reliability to determine whether they could more efficiently or cost-effectively address an identified reliability need. Additionally, panelists will discuss cost management practices that require coordination between local and regional transmission planning processes (e.g., how to ensure that assumptions used in regional transmission planning processes enable transmission providers to accurately determine the more efficient or cost-effective transmission facility for selection in the regional transmission plan that may defer or replace the need for local transmission facilities). Panelists: Frederick (Erik) Heinle III – Senior Assistant People’s Counsel, Federal Affairs and Who

Panel 5: Local and Regional Reliability Transmission Planning Criteria and Cost Management

Specifically, this panel will discuss challenges associated with cost management during the transmission provider’s evaluation of potential regional transmission facilities for reliability, the transmission provider’s selection of the regional transmission facility for reliability for the purposes of cost allocation, and the development of the regional transmission facility for reliability. Additionally, this panel will explore whether there are any best practices in regional transmission facility for reliability cost management. Finally, this panel will also discuss the roles that the Commission could play in ensuring appropriate cost management practices are in place.
