Study Work Participants • Arizona Public Service • Salt River Project • Southwest Transmission Cooperative • Tucson Electric Power • Western Area Power Administration
Objectives • Perform a Ten Year Regional Transmission Assessment for Central Arizona • Develop a 2015 joint base case for Central Arizona • Assess the impact of the individual transmission plans on the overalltransmission system for Central Arizona • Provide a common foundation for filingTen-Year Plans

Conclusions • There were no EHV N-0 and N-1 problems in the Study Area • Individual ten-year plans had no negative effects on the overall system when studied together for N-0 and N-1 analysis • Some problems identified on the under-lying systems. These problems will be addressed in the individual short term planning arenas
Recommendations • This study should continue to be coordinated through SWAT such that every two years a ten-year study is performed to coincide with the ACC biennial transmission assessment. • The study process should use coordinated cases developed for joint planning studies. • SWAT should continue to be used as a forum to coordinate Regional Transmission Studies and to fulfill State and Regional Regulatory needs.
