Teresa Mogensen

Director, Transmission Planning & Service

Scott Barnhart

Manager, Transmission Planning

Welcome and Introductions

• Your name and affiliation

• Please state your name and affiliation each time you offer input during today’s discussion

Overview of ATC

• Began operations on January 1, 2001• A transmission-only public utility company with transmission assets

in Wisconsin, Michigan and Illinois• Offices in Waukesha, Cottage Grove and Green Bay, Wis.; Kingsford,

Mich.; and Washington D.C.• Owns, plans, constructs, maintains, and operates electric transmission

equipment• Provides electric transmission service to utilities and other wholesale

power buyers• Jointly owned by electric cooperatives, investor-owned utilities,

municipal utilities, and other public power entities• Regulated by Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for rates and

tariffs• Regulated by states for siting

Goals for this Meeting

• Familiarize you with ATC and the transmission planning process

• Discuss identified system needs and possible solutions in this region

• Solicit your ongoing participation in, and shaping of, the planning process

• Solicit your input in helping identify and refine feasible options to address needs

ATC Transmission Planning Philosophies

• Adequate Infrastructure– To support load growth and system utilization

• Reliable Service

• Interconnection – Generators, loads, and other transmission systems

• Access– To a competitive energy market

• Collaboration

• Timeliness of project efforts

ATC Planning Bases

• Individual Load/Generator

• Zone

• ATC System Wide

• US Regional/National

• Consolidate resolution of needs into cohesive overall plan

Process to Date – Ten Year Transmission System Assessment

• Covers years 2001-2010

• Identifies needs, limitations, and violations of planning criteria

• Lists solutions to certain needs, limitations, and violations– Projects within existing substations

– Projects within existing right-of-way

– Near term transmission projects

• Other solutions to be defined after public discussion

• Initial assessment published June 1, 2001

Process to Date-Ten Year Assessment Logistics

• Developed system performance criteria

• Developed logical “planning zones”– Facilitates development of projects that serve multiple

purposes and resolve multiple issues– Umbrella plans – phased approaches to needs

resolution

– Allows for more focused public discussions

• Evaluated peak system usage scenarios

• Included proposed new generation that had been announced or for which applications had been filed
