Subject: Potential Transmission Needs for a Longer-term Transmission Planning RFP
CC: Planning Advisory Committee (PAC)
Four years ago today, the six New England states, acting through NESCOE, set forth their shared vision for a clean, affordable, and reliable 21st century regional electric grid. A key component of that vision was a scenario-based, longer-term transmission planning process to enable proactive, competitive, and sensible transmission investment to meet future needs. NESCOE appreciates the thoughtful, diligent efforts of ISO-NE and stakeholders over the last several years to establish a robust process for longer-term regional transmission planning and investment.
