Regulatory Comments Initial Comments by the Electricity Transmission Competition Coalition on Building for the Future Through Electric Regional Transmission Planning
The Competition Coalition supports transmission investment driven by the needs of consumers and competitive market outcomes. Competition in transmission planning and construction reduces costs to consumers and results in project construction to meet reliability requirements and market-driven transmission needs. Competition in transmission planning and construction would achieve the Commission’s objective of planning for changes in the resource mix and demand, but at a lower cost than what would be achieved through other means.
