IID ENERGY TRANSMISSION INITIATIVES
• Imperial Valley Study Group• CANDO – Control areas • PPIW – Large public power • wesTTrans.net - OASIS• West Connect – Regional IOU/public
transmission planning group• “Green Path” – Transmission vehicle for
providing 2000 mw+ to region
Public Power Initiative of the West
A voluntary collaboration of transmission owners located in the Western Interconnection not subject to FERC jurisdiction
Our Objective
To continue Public Power’s voluntary coordinated effort to identify enhancements to the grid throughout the Western US.
Our Approach
• Preserve our individual business models
• Simple solutions that are cost justified
• Incremental improvements to minimize risk or unintended consequences
• Work to complement the goals of the Commission
Formed to Address Change
• Committed to supporting the public power process, even through forced RTO development in the West
• Participants maintain ownership of wesTTrans; 90% of the vote is required to make changes
• Committees established at three levels (executive, technical, and customer) to address future needs
Accomplishments:Facilitated Transmission Access
Improve on Order No. 888 by creating a common OASIS for accessing ATC, featuring:• Independent, third party administration• Improved user friendliness of the OASIS site
– for example, by allowing reservations involving multiple transmission providers
• Facilitated access to a workable secondary market
• A market approach to transmission congestion management
Goals for the Future
• Encourage regional market price transparency for wholesale markets by implementing market price indices
• Initiate independent auditing• Evaluate enhancements to the common
OASIS• Explore bilateral market methods to increase
efficient use of the transmission grid and minimize seams issues
Goals for the Future
• Support better coordination of transmission planning, expansion, interconnection and operations
• Establish standard business rules and practices
