Western Transmission Expansion Coalition

Ongoing

Gregory Johnston

The Western Transmission Expansion Coalition (WestTEC) is a West-wide effort to develop an actionable transmission study to support the needs of the future energy grid. The final deliverable will be a West-wide transmission needs study looking out over 10- and 20-year periods.

Western Power Pool is coordinating the project, and CETI is participating as a member of the Regional Engagement Committee (REC). The REC is WestTEC’s primary stakeholder engagement group. It is responsible for reviewing proposals, scopes of work for technical studies and other deliverables, and for providing feedback and recommendations to the Steering Committee.
