RPCG
• Update from Chair/Vice-Chair
• Purpose – Soliciting input on - potential transmission projects
with probability of being in-service in the next 10 years
– Assist with best-estimates on transmission topology
– Stakeholder driven to reflect diversity of views

CCTA Process • Critical for WECC interconnection-wide planning
• Criteria-driven process (quantitative & subjective)
• Stakeholder input before submittal to TAS
• Valuable for future planning for Regional Planning Groups

Why is this valuable?
• Inaccurate data/assumptions on transmission projects
• Inconsistency in modeling assumptions
• Potential under/over-estimation of transmission utilization/congestion levels

2024 CCTA Criteria• Criteria 1: Regional Significance
• Based on Voltage: greater than or equal to 500kV or 345kV; greater than or equal to 200kV if backbone element (e.g., eastern edge of Western Interconnection)
• Criteria 2: Construction Status• Is the project currently under construction?
• Criteria 3: Financial Indicators• Financial questions added to project survey to indicate if the project has financial commitment
• Criteria 4: Implementation Status Indicators• Environmental Impact Status (EIS – if required) questions added to survey
• Criteria 5: Project Dependency• Is this project dependent upon another transmission project to be completed and used for its
intended purpose? If so, did the dependent project pass the CCTA criteria?
