The International Electric Transmission Perception Project (IETPP) program provides research-based information on how persons living near existing electric transmission lines perceive line impacts, and use this information to develop guidelines for planning, designing, siting and evaluating new and upgraded transsmission lines and to strengthen the development of public involvement programs for such projects.
The International Electric Transmission Perception Project was formed in August 1991 by a consortium of public and private utilities and utility organizations from the United States, Canada, and France.
The program was lauched in 1993 through a collaborative agreement by British Columbia Hydro, Bonneville Power Administration, Electricité de France, Hydro-Québec, and Southern California Edison.
