APPROACH • Staged approach to determine cost effective and timely transmission alternatives • Near-term Alternatives: Upgrades to existing infrastructure that can be expedited • Do not require CCN • Can be completed in less than three years • Long-term Alternatives: Future lines and system upgrades necessary to ensure that load is served reliably and without uneconomic RMR support
