DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. AD22–8–000] 

Transmission Planning and Cost 

Management; Notice of Technical 

Conference 

Take notice that the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (Commission) 

will convene a Commissioner-led 

technical conference regarding 

transmission planning and cost 

management for transmission facilities 

developed through local or regional 

transmission planning processes in the 

above-captioned proceeding on October 

6, 2022, from approximately 9:00 a.m. to 

5:00 p.m. Eastern Time. 

The technical conference will explore 

measures to ensure sufficient 

transparency into and cost effectiveness 

of local and regional transmission 

planning decisions, including: (1) The 

role of cost management measures in 

ensuring the cost effective identification 

of local transmission needs (e.g., 

planning criteria) and solutions to 

address identified local transmission 

and regional reliability-related 

transmission needs; and (2) cost 

considerations and the processes 

through which transmission developers 

recover their costs to ensure just and 

reasonable transmission rates. The 

technical conference will also consider 

potential approaches to providing 

enhanced cost management measures 

and greater transparency and oversight 

if needed to ensure just and reasonable 

transmission rates, such as a role for an 

independent transmission monitor to 

the extent it is consistent with the 

Commission’s authority. 

Specific topics for discussion at the 

technical conference may include: (1) 

How transmission owners establish 

local transmission planning criteria and 

use their local transmission planning 

criteria to identify local transmission 

needs, and the effectiveness of cost 

management, transparency, and 

oversight measures in those processes; 

(2) how public utility transmission 

providers identify transmission projects 

in local and regional reliability 

transmission planning processes; and 

(3) whether enhanced cost management, 

transparency, and oversight measures 

over: (a) Local and regional transmission 

planning processes, (b) the costs 

transmission owners expend on 

transmission facilities, (c) and the 

recovery of those costs through rates 

could help to ensure just and reasonable 

transmission rates.

as panelists should submit a selfnomination email by 5:00 p.m. Eastern
