SUMMARY:MGA MID-GRID 2035 – Converter Stations
DESCRIPTION:The MGA will host Roger Rosenqvist\, Vice President of Business Development for Hitachi Energy’s HVDC Division in North America for a webinar about converter stations. High-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission technology has not been deployed widely in the Midwest\, compared to alternating current (AC) transmission. This is in part because the equipment needed to manage a DC grid\, and to connect the DC and AC grids\, has been prohibitively expensive. Today\, HVDC technology is gaining traction around the world as power system are modernized and decarbonized. Technological improvements and cost declines in DC-AC converter stations have helped spur deployment. During this webinar\, participants will hear from one of the industry’s leading manufacturers of converter stations on the capabilities these assets can offer and how those capabilities can address emerging reliability needs and be part of an optimized transmission grid that meets the MID GRID 2035 vision. \n\nWatch Recording

SUMMARY:MGA MID-GRID 2035 – FERC Update Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Liz Salerno\, Lead\, Transmission and Technology Initiatives for Chairman Glick\, FERC provided an update on Transmission related topics at FERC. Since we heard from Chairman Glick at last year’s MGA-OMS Transmission Summit\, the FERC-NARUC task force has meet multiple times\, FERC’s transmission planning NOPR has received comments from stakeholders\, and FERC has issues even more proposed rules related to transmission planning and interconnection\, just to name of few of the things that FERC has going on that is impacting transmission. \n\n\nWatch the Recording

SUMMARY:MGA MID-GRID 2035 – Advanced Conductor Webinar
DESCRIPTION:David Townley\, Director of Public Policy at CTC Global will present on their work with advanced conductors. CTC Global is a pioneering manufacturer of advanced transmission conductors. CTC’s innovative design enables more power to flow through existing transmission corridors\, delivering more efficient and reliable energy to customers than conventional wires do today. MGA participants will have the opportunity to discuss the benefits of advanced conductors\, barriers to their broad implementation\, and opportunities for states and utilities to explore their use in the Midwest. \n\nWatch Recording

SUMMARY:Generation Fleet Change Pathways and Cost Implications
DESCRIPTION:MID-GRID 2035 participants will join a discussion of technological and regulatory approaches for maximizing benefits of transmission development for landowners and local communities. Discussion could include opportunities for conducting outreach to engage stakeholders upstream in the process—early and often—especially with groups that have often not been adequately represented in past decisions\, including rural residents\, communities of color\, and sovereign Tribal Nations. Participants will also discuss opportunities for unlocking co-benefits via transmission infrastructure deployment and how transmission planning and siting process can be structured to minimize conflict and broadly support beneficial outcomes for all stakeholders. \n\nWatch Recording
