March 29, 2006 — 8:30 am – 3:00 pm CST Each panelist will make a 5-minute presentation responding to one or more of the following questions: What weight should DOE give to analyses conducted by regional transmission planning processes in the identification of constraint areas and designation of National Corridors What aspects of regional planning processes should be considered in assessing these analyses, such as the extent to which they are open to all parties and not overly influenced by a single interest group; are coordinated with state and load serving entities’ resource plans; consider wires and non-wires alternatives; consider access to distant future resources, such as wind and coal, and produce welldocumented and transparent analyses In the absence of an established regional transmission planning process, how should regional, state, and local considerations be addressed in the identification of constraint areas and designation of National Corridors What additional complementary or supporting actions by DOE (or others) should be triggered by the identification of constraint areas or the designation of National Corridors For example, should DOE foster federal/state teams to encourage development and expeditious reviews of proposals to mitigate congestion in constraint areas Should priority be placed on designating corridors on federal lands under Section 368 that could be used for projects to relieve constraint areas After the round of opening statements, DOE will ask the panelists a series of followup questions. After this round of questions, the facilitator will open the discussion to comments and questions from the audience. 12:00 – 1:00 pm Lunch An informal lunch will be provided at the meeting site. 1:00 – 2:45 pm SESSION 3: How should Criteria Be Applied in the Identification of Constraint Areas and the Designation of National Corridors Overview of Comments on Criteria and Metrics Poonum Agrawal, U.S. Department of Energy Panelists: Mary Ellen Paravalos, Director of Regulatory Policy, National Grid David Till, Transmission Planning Department Manager, Tennessee Valley Authority Michael Heyeck, Vice President, Transmission, American Electric Power Kevin Wright, Commissioner, Illinois Commerce Commission Ed Tatum, Assistant Vice President, Rates & Regulations, Old Dominion Electric Cooperative Wayne Walker, Director of Project Development, Horizon Wind Energy Wayne Snowdon, Vice Chair, Canadian Electricity Association Transmission Council; Vice President, Transmission, NB Power Facilitated by: Jody Erikson, Keystone Center 80 U.S. Department of Energy / National Electric Transmission Congestion Study / 2006
March 29, 2006 — 8:30 am – 3:00 pm CST Each panelist will make a 5-minute presentation responding to one or more of the following questions: How broadly (or narrowly) should constraint areas and corridors be defined Should thresholds be established in applying criteria for constraint area and National Corridor designations If so, what should they be for the eight draft criteria proposed by DOE Should constraint area or National Corridor designations expire after some fixed period If so, what should the period be How should the designation of constraint areas and National Corridors be coordinated with the planning and siting processes used in Canada, ERCOT, and Mexico After the round of opening statements, DOE will ask the panelists a series of followup questions. After this round of questions, the facilitator will open the discussion to comments and questions from the public audience. 2:45 pm Summary, Next Steps, and Closing Remarks Discussion led by: Poonum Agrawal, U.S. Department of Energy 3:00 pm Adjourn U.S. Department of Energy / National Electric Transmission Congestion Study / 2006 81
