  2. TEPPC(Transmission Expansion Planning & Policy Committee)http://www.wecc.biz/committees/BOD/TEPPC/default.aspx • Reports directly to the WECC Board • RTEP (Regional Transmission Expansion Planning) • Approximately $14 Million grant from DOE • Regional Interconnection Wide Transmission Plan • 10-Year Regional Transmission Plan • Final report due September 2011 • Bottoms up process • Utilizes SCG Foundational Transmission Project List • Scenarios developed through SPSG & FERC 890 process • 20-Year Regional Transmission Plan • Final report due September 2013 • Utilize new Long Range Transmission Tools • SPSG will develop long range resource scenarios

  3. Approved new Charter on March 25, 2010 Addresses funding of RTEP (DOE award of $14M) Defines the SCG and SPSG Action Item: CCPG representation on TEPPC (Green/Easton) Draft Protocol (Approval set for April 26) Defines RTEP process Identifies deliverables & responsibilities of each group SPSG, SCG, PCC, and NGOs Changing to biennial cycle Approved Alberta Electric System Operator (AESO) as a Subregional Planning Group TEPPC documents available through the following link. http://www.wecc.biz/committees/BOD/TEPPC/04262010/default.aspx?InstanceID=1 TEPPC(Continued)

  7. Subregional Planning Group Coordination Group (SCG)http://www.wecc.biz/committees/BOD/TEPPC/SCG/default.aspx • Ad-hoc group that provides list of transmission projects incorporated in the Subregional transmission plans to TEPPC for a starting point in the study program • SCG Foundational Project List is due to TEPPC in April • Draft Charter • Draft Transmission Criteria • Draft Transmission Matrix • Draft Committed and Potential transmission maps • Draft Report ALL draft documents can be found by this link http://www.wecc.biz/committees/BOD/TEPPC/SCG/04212010/default.aspx?InstanceID=1

  8. SCG Charter • Responsibilities • Foundational Transmission Project List • Coordination & Communications between SPGs • 10-year Reliability assessment (not in first deliverable 2011) • Voting • Consensus based • If no consensus is reached, a majority vote by the members • Enacted until decided not necessary • Next Meeting: ? (met on April 21st)

  9. Foundational Transmission Project List • “The SCG foundational transmission project list is a subset of the projects currently in the SPG’s 10-year plans and represents those projects that have a very high probability of being built over the next ten-years and are needed under a wide variety of future resource development scenarios. The foundational transmission project list provides TEPPC with a basic set of transmission facilities that TEPPC can use as a starting point for their own studies”

  10. SCG Transmission Criteria(draft) • Subregional/Regional Transmission • All 500kV transmission lines • 345 kV considered backbone network facilities • 230 kV transmission lines with subregional significance • Committed Projects or Potential Projects

  11. Under construction Needed to meet reliability standards Required to meet WECC Loads and Resources Class 0 and Class 1 Project demonstratedfirmfinancial commitment Public statement, Inclusion in approved IRP, Major equipment orders, Executed contracts, Approved regulatory cost recovery, ROW acquired or purchasing, ISD within study timeframe All other subregional/regional projects not meeting the committed project criterion are classified as “Potential” SCG Committed Projects(draft)

  15. Scenario Planning Steering Group (SPSG) • Purpose: Multi-stakeholder group to develop future resource scenarios to supplement the regional transmission planning process • 25 Member group • DOE required 1/3 representation from state/provincial group (8 Total) • Board approved membership • Required by Department of Energy under the FOA • Information can be found at the following weblink • http://www.wecc.biz/committees/BOD/TEPPC/SPSG/default.aspx
