DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Technical Conference; Design
Concepts of Future Electric
Transmission
AGENCY: Office of Electricity Delivery
and Energy Reliability, DOE.
ACTION: Notice of Technical Conference.
SUMMARY: The Department of Energy’s
Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy
Reliability (OE) will conduct a technical
conference in the Washington, DC area
to discuss the design of future electric
transmission. The technical conference
will discuss the likely demand for
future electric transmission and whether
the development of conceptual
alternative extra high voltage (EHV)
systems would assist generation
developers, State energy policy officials,
utility planners, and other stakeholders.
The specific agenda, list of panelists,
and meeting location will be posted on
the OE Web site at https://
www.oe.energy.gov as they become
available.
DATES: The technical conference will be
held on March 4, 2009.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John
Schnagl, Director Transmission
Adequacy, Office of Electricity Delivery
and Energy Reliability, phone (202)

A robust
and reliable electricity system is vital to
our national economy, security, and
well-being. Numerous proposals have
been made to modernize the electric
transmission systems. Included among
these proposals is the construction of an
EHV transmission system to augment
the existing transmission systems. OE
believes it is important to begin a
thorough review of whether an EHV
system should be considered by States
and regional planning entities. To that
end, OE is seeking a broader discussion
on the ranges of opinion regarding the
future requirements of the electric
transmission system, and what actions
should be considered now to help
ensure that the appropriate transmission
system is available to meet those future
needs.

This technical conference is part of
OE’s ongoing evaluation of electric
transmission adequacy and is not part of
the 2009 National Electric Transmission
Congestion Study required by the
Energy Policy Act of 2005.
The technical conference will pursue
two primary areas of interest:
Identification of the fundamental issues
to be considered in designing future
transmission; and exploration of the
pros and cons of building an EHV
network, in terms of energy and
economic efficiency, reliability, access
to renewable generation, and reduction
of carbon emissions. These areas will be
addressed during three panel discussion
sessions.
Panel I will address projections of
future transmission needs and factors
that should be considered to help
ensure that an appropriate transmission
system is available to meet future needs,
including anticipated contributions
from Smart Grid, storage, and
distributive generation. Panel II
discussions will address whether there
are advantages to an EHV design over
the traditional transmission planning
process, what the pros and cons of a
supplemental EHV system might be, and
what the relationship between the
existing transmission system and an
EHV system would be. Several entities
have proposed conceptual EHV designs.
Panel III will address the primary
objectives in each design, the criteria
that should be considered in selecting
any particular design, whether an EHV
system could be built in stages with
broad public benefits realized with each
stage, and the amount of an EHV system
that must be completed before the
public could see major benefits.

‘‘Self Certification for Entities Seeking
Exempt Wholesale Generator or Foreign
Utility Company Status’’ (OMB Control
No. 1902–0166) is used by the
Commission to implement the statutory
provisions of Title XII, subchapter F of
the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct
2005).1
EPAct 2005 repealed the Public
Utility Holding Company Act of 1935
(PUHCA 1935) in its entirety, including
section 32, which provided for the
Commission to exempt wholesale
generators from PUHCA 1935 on a caseby-case basis, upon application.
Following the repeal of PUHCA 1935
and the enactment of PUHCA 2005, in
Order No. 667 2 the Commission
amended its regulations to add
procedures for self-certification by
entities seeking exempt wholesale
generator (EWG) and foreign utility
company (FUCO) status. This selfcertification is similar to the process
available to entities that seek qualifying
facility status.
An EWG is a ‘‘person engaged directly
