## 2005 Planning Activities

- Update Database
- Update the Regional Production Cost Database for 2008 and 2015.  (used by SSG-WI and the SubRegional Gps)
- 2005 Study Program
- Identify transmission congestion in 2008 and 2015 and alternative solutions (2015), and study the west wide economic impacts of requested projects and Western Governors’ energy policy
- Update west wide Historical Path Congestion analysis.  (biennial update)

## Encourage Regional Involvement in SSG-WI PWG  

- Liaisons with Subregional Groups
- All WG meeting/Conference calls posted on SSG-WI Web Site, with materials.
- All database assumptions & database “decisions” are posted on SSG-WI Web Site for regional review.
