Transmission Investment Analysis and Policy Support

Extensive practical experience with the evaluation and analysis of transmission facility benefits and policy support to facilitate the development and construction of major new transmission facilities

Power Advisory has developed estimates of the benefits of major new transmission facilities, evaluating the different metrics that could be used to measure these benefits and estimating benefits using these different metrics.  As part of this work, we have showed how the different approaches for quantifying benefits can be adapted for different market structures (competitive with and without locational marginal pricing and regulated) and the classes of market participants that will realize these benefits.  We have also advised regulators and policymakers regarding these analyses and developed White Papers on the benefits of specific facilities and transmission investment in general. 

Power Advisory staff have testified on how these benefits can be quantified and supported the roll-in of a portion of facility costs to the existing transmission tariff.
