About the Webinar: The webinar will cover emerging topics in transmission planning related to interregional transmission and modern HVDC technology. It will discuss how the existing regional planning processes can be expanded to cover interregional transmission, the unique value propositions offered by expanding interregional transmission capabilities, the unique capabilities of modern HVDC technologies, how they can be considered in transmission planning, and the role merchant transmission development efforts play (which account for the majority of the proposed interregional transmission projects).
