About the Series: ESIG has just completed a broad stakeholder review of the transmission implications of moving towards very high levels of decarbonization and renewable energy at a national level. The issues associated with a large transmission network spanning the continent can be generally grouped into the areas of transmission planning, permitting and paying, covered in this extended 3-part webinar. The first webinar on planning will be presented by Rob Gramlich of Grid Strategies. Rob is a well-known figure nationally in this area, and will cover the drivers for a broad, geographical approach to planning. The topic of permitting will be presented by Bret Sumner, a practicing lawyer well versed in the practical aspects of project permitting on public and private lands. The third topic to be addressed, paying, or cost allocation, will be covered by Steve Gaw, Senior Vice President of Markets and Infrastructure for the Advanced Power Alliance.

Registration Cost: FREE

Q&A Session: We will be using the slido platform for Q&A. Please submit your questions and follow-along during the event at this link.

Webinar Abstract: Large scale transmission has been planned and built before in different US regions so there are known and tested models that work. The needs are staggering, with some estimates calling for a tripling the current delivery capacity of the existing grid. How can the next FERC, along with DOE, RTOs, and states, put in place new transmission planning policies to get this needed transmission built?

*This session will be recorded and uploaded to the ESIG YouTube Channel. It will also be posted on this page along with a copy of the presentation following the webinar.
