Evaluating electric system needs and their possible solutions and selecting plans for eventual proposals are important processes. From our company's inception we have shared our plans publicly and invited stakeholder comments by annually issuing our 10-Year Transmission System Assessment. Now the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has required transmission owning utilities like ATC to make planning processes open and transparent as well. You will find below an overview of the required underlying principles of a sound planning process and the major categories of electric system planning performed by ATC, along with links to contact information, procedures, and upcoming public planning meetings.

We welcome your input as a participant in our ongoing economic studies, our upcoming 10-Year Assessment planning process or in specific planning analyses designed for particular parts of our system.

Transmission line projects serve both local and regional needs, and successful planning and siting of transmission lines that bring electricity into communities depends on local participation.  We appreciate your input and encourage you to review our current plans and participate in the development of upcoming plans.

Sincerely,

Flora Flygt

Director of Planning
