When implementing energy risk management strategies, end users tend to focus on energy prices and contract terms, which makes sense as these are the components that most obviously impact the bottom line. However, the total electricity cost also includes costs for transmission and distribution (T&D) of electricity.  While these charges are regulated by appropriate state commissions, there is a growing need for investment in infrastructure. This whitepaper will:

• Lay out the projected need for transmission infrastructure
• Provide insight into the importance of transmission investments
• Examine the Pennsylvania, Jersey, Maryland (PJM) interconnection Regional Transmission Expansion Planning Process (RTEP); and
• Discusses the impact of the Competitive Renewable Energy Zone (CREZ) transmission project in the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) on transmission infrastructure and forward energy costs

Discover key details on how to mitigate energy risk and plan effectively to control costs today and into the future.
