Future in SPP
• Renewable development beyond member needs of 12GW in SPP will depend on level of exports. While focus to date has been wind, solar will be next, then…
• Future is bright with more robust planning and certainty of cost allocations, but we need smart grid applications and better management of data to inform decisions to minimize renewable curtailments in advance of grid build-out and to manage flows using new technology, e.g., HVDC, as well as system reconfiguration/ optimization tools

Where do we stand today…• NERC’s evolution and today’s Culture of Compliance
• Conservative industry focused on capacity needs with deterministic metrics despite the advent of intermittent energy resources and probabilistic tools
• Tariff requires lowest cost solution to provide requested service, therefore economies of scope/scale for lumpy transmission get lost. Is good enough OK?
• Organized and Bilateral Markets (No SMD)
• Regional Planning is working and improving, but regional cost allocation has lead to a focus on lowest initial cost solutions and little value for flexibility or “no regrets” plans
• Land Rush for transmission ROWs22

What’s on the horizon…
• Land use/environmental pressures will require transparent planning & unprecedented collaboration among all parties
• Asset management with aging infrastructure will be a challenge, but need headroom to upgrade existing facilities
• Effective use of new and existing ROWs will be key success factor, but there is no incentive/mechanism to rightsize key projects in critical corridors, particularly for joint projects. May require national leadership or legislated mandates to get the best lines in best corridors.
• Inter-Regional Planning in process, but may not be broad enough and won’t necessarily result in any projects
• Smart Grid applications for transmission are promising 25

Asset Management and Grid Efficiencies
• Need wide area monitoring and proactive controls
• Losses are 24/7 and have marginal impacts/costs even if average approaches/allocations are used. The long term consequences of lowering system losses with an efficient network using larger/advanced conductors are huge and will never be captured with incremental assessments, short term forecasts and/or high discount rates
• Benefits of a robust and flexible EHV transmission network will never be captured with pristine models and data inputs. Things happen, even if its difficult to project with any certainty…
• Can we afford to undervalue transmission anymore?26

Technology Advances to Improve Siting/Planning
• Preliminary routing studies and siting assessments can benefit from GIS based software packages to improve quality of initial planning studies/recommendations
• Compact configurations capturing benefits of HSIL design may reduce ROW, but that decision makes maintenance/upgrades difficult, if not impossible.
• FACTS and SVCs can improve operations to better manage flows and system performance, but there are no or insufficent incentives to deploy new technologies
