Commission 

[Docket Nos. RM20–10–000; AD19–19–000] 

Electric Transmission Incentives 

Policy Under Section 219 of the 

Federal Power Act; Supplemental 

Notice of Workshop 

As announced in the Notice of 

Workshop issued in the abovecaptioned proceedings on April 15, 

2021, Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission (Commission) staff will 

convene a workshop to discuss certain 

shared savings incentive approaches 

that may foster deployment of 

transmission technologies. The 

workshop will be held on Friday, 

September 10, 2021, from 

approximately 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. 

Eastern Time. The workshop will be 

held virtually via WebEx. 

Commissioners may attend and 

participate. 

Transmission technologies, as 

deployed in certain circumstances, may 

enhance reliability, efficiency, and 

capacity, and improve the operation of 

new or existing transmission facilities. 

The workshop will discuss issues 

related to shared savings approaches 1

for transmission technologies seeking 

incentives under Federal Power Act 

section 219.2 The workshop will focus 

on how to calculate ex ante and ex post 

benefit analyses for transmission 

technologies seeking incentives. 

Specifically, the workshop will explore 

the maturity of the modeling approaches 

for various transmission technologies; 

the data needed to study the benefits/ 

costs of such technologies; issues 

pertaining to access to or confidentiality 

of this data; the time horizons that 

should be considered for such studies; 

and other issues related to verifying 

forecasted benefits. The workshop may 

also discuss other issues, including 

whether and how to account for 

circumstances in which benefits do not 

materialize as anticipated. 

Attached to this Supplemental Notice 

is an agenda for the workshop, which 

includes the final workshop program 

and expected speakers. The workshop 

will be open for the public to attend 

virtually. Information on the workshop 

will also be posted on the Calendar of 

Events on the Commission’s website,

Preliminary Permit Application 

Accepted for Filing and Soliciting 

Comments, Motions To Intervene, and 

Competing Applications 

On July 27, 2021, Alabama Power 

Company filed an application for a 

preliminary permit, pursuant to section 

4(f) of the Federal Power Act, proposing 

to study the feasibility of the Chandler 

Mountain Pumped Storage Project No. 

15229–000 (Chandler Mountain Project, 

or project), a closed-loop pumped 

storage project to be located in Etowah 

and St. Clair Counties, Alabama. The 

sole purpose of a preliminary permit, if 

issued, is to grant the permit holder 

priority to file a license application 

during the permit term. A preliminary 

permit does not authorize the permit 

holder to perform any land-disturbing 

activities or otherwise enter upon lands 

or waters owned by others without the 

owners’ express permission. 

The proposed pumped storage project 

would consist of the following: (1) An 

upper reservoir with a maximum water 

surface elevation of 1,364 feet mean sea 

level (msl); (2) four dam sections and 

one spillway section at a crest elevation 

of 895 feet, each; (3) an upper reservoir 

intake structure; (4) an underground 

powerhouse containing reversible 

pump-turbine unit(s) for a maximum 

installed capacity of 1,600 megawatts; 

(5) a lower reservoir discharge structure; 

(6) a lower reservoir with a maximum 

water surface elevation of 889 feet msl; 

(7) a transmission line(s) and 

switchyard(s) connecting the project to 

the grid; and (8) appurtenant facilities.
