TUESDAY, September 8, 2009
\n12:00 PM
\nLegislative Energy Commission
\nRoom: 123 Capitol
\nChairs: Sen. Yvonne Prettner Solon, Rep. Bill Hilty
\nAgenda: Transmission<\/h2>\n

12:00 p.m. — is it a potluck?<\/strong><\/p>\n

These meetings are often a big yawn, toadies on parade yammering our precious lives away, but this one we cannot let slip by.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s an opportunity to tell them what’s going on in transmission.\u00c2\u00a0 Not that they’d let anyone like us on the agenda, but we can show up in force, do a lot of prep work with the members, and have handouts aplenty at the meeting.<\/p>\n

From what I’ve heard, they’re going to hear from “the PUC<\/a>” and “Office of Energy Security<\/a>,” and also from MISO about “Cost Allocation.”\u00c2\u00a0 And PUC<\/a> will address UMTDI (Upper Midwest Transmission Development Initiative)<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 Hmmmmmmm… it’s the PUC’s<\/a> job to promote transmission?<\/p>\n

Simple run-down of Cost Allocation a la MISO & FERC<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

CLICK HERE, if you’re a serious masochist, for MISO’s cost allocation results in a search.<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There will also be a section about “siting issues” including input from “landowners” (?)<\/a> <\/a>and “CapX utilities<\/a>” for an update on how it’s been going.\u00c2\u00a0 More hmmmmmmmm…<\/p>\n

Updates will be forthcoming…<\/p>\n

In the meantime, UMTDI<\/a> has some things to comment on (again, note that this is an “entity” PROMOTING transmission, its purpose is “TRANSMISSION DEVELOPMENT):<\/p>\n

UMTDI – Cover Letter – August 6, 2009<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

UMTDI – Survey on Cost Allocation<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

UMTDI – Legal Report<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Check out the Survey and do your best to make some Comments, due by close of business AUGUST 28, 2009.\u00c2\u00a0 Directions are on the “Survey” link. \u00c2\u00a0 PLEASE TAKE SOME TIME TO GO OVER THIS AND SUBMIT SOME SUBSTANTIVE COMMENTS.<\/p>\n

Note they want to “ensure that all pertinent stakeholder groups are represented in the responses received.”\u00c2\u00a0 Sounds pretty offensive to me… speaking as someone deemed an “impediment to transmission” and impertinent…<\/p>\n

And what does it mean that Randy Pilo, WI-PSC, sent out this cost allocation survey the same date as FERC’s trashing in the 7th District Appellate Court?<\/p>\n

Illinois Commerce Commission v. FERC – August 6 2009<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A decision worth a read…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
