SUMMARY:MID-GRID Webinar – Benefits of Regional Transmission
DESCRIPTION:MGA has been engaging with state government and stakeholders on cross-regional studies. To continue this topic of discussion\, this webinar will connect policymakers to challenges with assessing the benefits of interregional transmission. Johannes P. Pfeifenberger\, Principal at the Brattle Group\, will present ways policy makers can better understand these unique benefits.  \nSome of the topics we will address include: \n\nHow much are we investing in transmission?\nWhat opportunities are created by Order 1920\nWhat are transmission benefits? \nHow to deal with uncertainty and minimize planning regrets?\nWhy interregional transmission and what is holding us back?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSlides

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
