As more states have adopted renewable portfolio standards, proposals have arisen to move remote generation long distances to load. In Order No. 890, the Commission stated its belief that there are benefits to joint ownership of transmission facilities, particularly large backbone facilities, both in terms of increasing opportunities for investment as well as ensuring nondiscriminatory access. Order No. 890 also required all transmission providers to submit processes for regional planning. However, questions have been raised as to incumbent and new entrant rights, whether merchant transmission projects should be required to coordinate with an Order No. 890 regional planning process and coordination across boundaries. Since 2005, the Commission has acted on a number of requests regarding affiliated or independent transmission; merchant transmission; and joint ownership. Among other things, the Commission is interested in gaining a better understanding of the rights, obligations, and challenges afforded these entities as compared to traditional transmission investment and whether there are barriers to comparable treatment of these entities in the wholesale/interstate transmission market. Panel Discussions: While there may be common obstacles to the building of transmission, at the same time it appears that the challenges may differ in some respects regionally. Thus, the panels of this conference will be divided geographically. While the basic topics of discussion will be the same in both panels, the individual problems and solutions identified may vary by region, e.g., Eastern and Western Interconnection. The Commission hopes to learn from each panel of the experiences parties have faced in trying to build transmission, with particular focus on regulatory and economic issues, and discuss how they differ by transmission business model. With regard to both problems and solutions, the focus should also be on matters that are within the Commission’s control or ability to affect. The discussion should focus on specific areas of the Commission’s regulations and policies that may present barriers to comparable treatment.

    The purpose of this conference is to hear from transmission 
developers, transmission owners, and others on the issues they 
encounter when trying to build transmission. In particular, the 
Commission is interested in hearing from persons involved with various 
forms of transmission including independent transmission, merchant 
transmission, joint ownership arrangements, and long-distance 
transmission projects crossing multiple corporate boundaries or that 
are regional in nature regarding the barriers to transmission entry due 
to the Commission's tariffs, policies, and regulations.
    In response to the nation's growing transmission needs, the 
Commission not only supports more ``traditional'' forms of investment, 
such as that of investor-owned utilities, but also encourages the 
formation of ``alternative'' transmission models. In the June 2005 
Policy Statement Regarding Evaluation of Independent Ownership and 
Operation of Transmission, the Commission clarified its willingness to 
accept proposals from independent transmission companies, including 
those that have market participants as passive minority equity owners, 
and stated its willingness to allow innovative rate treatments both to 
facilitate the creation of independent transmission companies and to 
stimulate investment in transmission infrastructure.\1\ Furthermore, in 
recent years new entities have emerged to build transmission, such as 
merchant transmission companies. There is increased interest in joint 
(i.e., public-private) transmission development. As more states have 
adopted renewable portfolio standards, proposals have arisen to move 
remote generation long distances to load.

Ownership and Operation of Transmission, 111 FERC ] 61,473 (2005).

    In Order No. 890, the Commission stated its belief that there are 
benefits to joint ownership of transmission facilities, particularly 
large backbone facilities, both in terms of increasing opportunities 
for investment as well as ensuring nondiscriminatory access. Order No. 
890 also required all transmission providers to submit processes for 
regional planning. However, questions have been raised as to incumbent 
and new entrant rights, whether merchant transmission projects should 
be required to coordinate with an Order No. 890 regional planning 
process and coordination across boundaries.
    Since 2005, the Commission has acted on a number of requests 
regarding affiliated or independent transmission; merchant 
transmission; and joint ownership. Among other things, the Commission 
is interested in gaining a better understanding of the rights, 
obligations, and challenges afforded these entities as compared to 
traditional transmission investment and whether there are barriers to 
comparable treatment of these entities in the wholesale/interstate

    Panel Discussions:
    While there may be common obstacles to the building of 
transmission, at the same time it appears that the challenges may 
differ in some respects regionally. Thus, the panels of this conference 
will be divided geographically. While the basic topics of discussion 
will be the same in both panels, the individual problems and solutions 
identified may vary by region, e.g., Eastern and Western 
Interconnection.
    The Commission hopes to learn from each panel of the experiences 
parties have faced in trying to build transmission, with particular 
focus on regulatory and economic issues, and discuss how they differ by 
transmission business model. With regard to both problems and 
solutions, the focus should also be on matters that are within the 
Commission's control or ability to affect. The discussion should focus 
on specific areas of the Commission's regulations and policies that may 
present barriers to comparable treatment. Among the issues of interest 
to the Commission are:
     The impact on transmission providers regarding rights of 
first refusal to build and own transmission;
     Whether all transmission investment (e.g., upgrades, 
greenfield lines) are treated comparably in the award of rights (e.g., 
financial or physical rights);
     Whether the Commission's policies regarding the provision 
of ancillary services are appropriate as applied to transmission-only 
entities;
     Whether there are specific processes in RTO/ISO rules and 
markets that present barriers to alternative transmission business 
models;
     Development opportunities for the different transmission 
business models;
     The benefits of and the peculiar challenges faced by 
alternative business models (e.g., merchant transmission doesn't have a 
rate base from which to obtain cost recovery); and
     Whether there should be different approaches to projects 
with differing scope, e.g., long-distance backbone projects with long 
lead lines vs. incremental upgrades to existing facilities.
