Cost of Congestion
FERC estimated costs for 16 individual constraints that ranged up to $700M/y (eastern NY) - Electric Transmission Constraint Study
ISO New England estimates the costs of congestion in New England are $125-600M/y - 2001 Regional Transmission Expansion Plan
Cost of congestion on Path 15 > $222M over 16 mo prior to 12/00 - California ISO
Congestion relief – overall net efficiency gain but there are individual winners and losers!
