Core Sector: Electric Transmission

Electric Transmission

Development of new transmission is essential to prepare for the deployment of large amounts of new energy resources to meet emerging large loads on the grid. State and federal utility regulators are tasked with addressing issues of how to plan and pay for new transmission development and navigating related jurisdictional issues. NARUC’s Committee on Electricity develops and advances policies that promote reliable, adequate, and affordable supply and transmission of electricity. Through strong collaboration with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and related federal agencies, the Committee also seeks ways to improve the quality and effectiveness of regulation through education, cooperation, and exchange of information.
