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:MGA MID-GRID 2035 – Quarterly Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Since the start of the MID-GRID 2035 effort in late 2019\, the Midwest has made considerable progress toward the vision outlined by the states. Regional and interregional transmission planning is taking place at a scale not before contemplated\, and new generation investments have provided economic development and other benefits. Simultaneously\, the region has dealt with multiple major weather events\, grid reliability challenges\, increasing costs due to global economic turmoil and record inflation\, and an increasing rate of generation retirements.As we look back at where MID-GRID 2035 began and now toward where this work will go\, the nature of the challenges and opportunities ahead has shifted and this event will set the stage for what we hope to tackle in MID-GRID 2035 2.0.More information can be found here.

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\n\nWatch Recording
