These slides were presented at the 2024 NARUC Annual Meeting’s panel discussion on “Ensuring Cost-Effective Transmission to Support Affordable State Electricity Policies” in Anaheim, CA, on November 13, 2024.

The challenge of maintaining affordable electricity rates for retail customers during a quickly changing electric power industry is formidable. Given that the cost of transmission has been increasing quickly as the industry transforms, this panel brought together state regulators, grid operators, and customer representatives to discuss the importance of proactive transmission planning and transmission cost controls and how they can be used to ensure a more cost-effective energy transition.

The panel was moderated by Hon. Andrew French, and Mr. Pfeifenberger joined Aubrey Johnson, Neil Millar, Karen Onaran, and Hon. Pat Scully as a panelist.
