National Transmission Grid Study 2001

This notice announces the National Transmission Grid Study, a set of public workshops, and request comments. President George W. Bush unveiled his National Energy Policy (NEP) on May 17, 2001. Included in the NEP were 105 recommendations to produce more reliable, affordable and environmentally clean energy.

This National Transmission Grid Study 2001 (NTGS 2001) will identify the major transmission bottlenecks across the U.S. It will examine both the technical and economic issues resulting from these transmission constraints and provide innovative solutions to reverse these trends. A 21st century transmission super highway that utilizes new technology to ensure reliability will be the driver that serves the growing needs of our economy. A vibrant and reliable transmission system is essential to lowering the cost of electricity for customers all across the country. The NTGS 2001 will recommend regulatory and market based approaches that will stimulate new investment in our interstate bul
