Effects of the Blackout
August 14, 2003 Blackout2x Size of largest previous blackout in North America (in MW lost)8 U.S. states affected 1 Canadian province affected3 Deaths 50 Million people without electricity$4.5 - $10 Billion in U.S. economic losses.12 Airports closed23 Cases of looting in Ottawa250+ Power plants shut down9,300 Square miles affected61,800 MW of power lost1.5 Million Cleveland residents without water
U.S.-Canada Power System Outage Task Force
• Final Report of Task Force included 46 recommendations
• “Trim your trees, train your operators, and ensure that your systems work, and the risk of blackout is greatly reduced”.– Jimmy Glotfelty, DOE, in
IEEE Spectrum, Aug. 2004
Key Accomplishments Since the Blackout
• Massive joint U.S.-Canada-NERC-investigation identified the causes of the blackout
• NERC and Task Force issued recommendations
• Direct causes of blackout were addressed through remedial action under NERC oversight by June 30
• NERC conducted 23 readiness audits of control areas and reliability coordinators in the Eastern Interconnection
• Virtually all grid operators received five days of emergency preparedness training before June 30
• U.S. and Canada established Bilateral ERO Oversight Group to ensure coordinated response to reliability governance concerns
• Government agencies tracking progress on implementing the Task Force’s recommendations
• NERC extended life of its Urgent Action Standard 1200 to August 2005 and is developing a successor version

“…it's clear that the power grid needs an overhaul. It
needs to be modernized. As we go into an exciting
new period of American history, we want the most
modern electricity grid for our people… we need
more investment; we need research and
development…”
George W. BushSeptember 15, 2003

DOE Bottleneck Work – Next Steps
Delayed by funding and blackout investigation Will identify National Interest Trans. Bottlenecks
regardless of energy bill fate Preliminary scoping work complete Technical conference held July 15, 2004 Federal Register Notice seeks public comment on
process. Comments due Sept. 20 DOE presently considering balance between using
existing regional bottleneck data vs. DOE identification using raw data
Path forward influenced by public comments!

Eric Hirst Report: Reviewed 20 Transmission Plans
• NPCC– ISO New England– National Grid– NY ISO
• MAAC– PJM
• SERC– Two reports
• FRCC – nothing available• Midwest: ECAR, MAIN, MAPP
– Midwest ISO– ATC– MAPP– MN electric utilities
• SPP plan
• ERCOT plan
• WECC– SSG-WI study– AZ assessment– California
• ISO• Other studies
– BPA projects
Eric Hirst Report: Transmission Plans Review
• Quality and relevance of plans quite variable
• Transmission planning and expansion varies greatly
• Best plans: ISO New England, National Grid, Midwest ISO, American Transmission Company, ERCOT, SSG-WI
Comments on RTEP04 Draft Report
• “Administration fully supports regional coordination and planning through…voluntary RTOs.” ---
Statement of Admin. Policy, Sept. 10, 2003
– Commend ISO-NE on development and release of RTEP04
• Need for greater grid investment to ensure reliability and economic benefit
– RTEP04 shows the need for greater investment– Continue pressure to make it happen
• Natural gas– RTEP04 points out major risk from gas dependence– Continue your work on sorting out planning connections
on gas/electricity
Comments on RTEP04 Draft Report
– Don’t forget demand-side: “Greater energy efficiency and conservation are vital near-term and long-term mechanisms for moderating price levels and reducing volatility.”
--- Nat’l Petroleum Council Natural Gas Rpt
• Non-transmission alternatives– Are they adequately treated in RTEP04?– Inclusion noted in SW CT RFP– Should they be treated equally? Socialize like
transmission?– Governance role of new “Sector Six” good
• Overall: RTEP04 highlights important issues for New England
