Manager, Transmission Planning
Welcome and
Introductions
• Your name and affiliation
• Please state your name and affiliation each
time you offer input during today’s
discussion
Overview of ATC
• Began operations on January 1, 2001
• A transmission-only public utility company with
transmission assets in Wisconsin, Michigan and Illinois
• Offices in Waukesha, Cottage Grove and Green Bay, Wis.;
Kingsford, Mich.; and Washington D.C.
• Owns, plans, constructs, maintains, and operates electric
transmission equipment
• Provides electric transmission service to utilities and other
wholesale power buyers
• Jointly owned by electric cooperatives, investor-owned
utilities, municipal utilities, and other public power entities
• Regulated by Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for
rates and tariffs
• Regulated by states for siting
Goals for this Meeting
• Familiarize you with ATC and the
transmission planning process
• Discuss identified system needs and
possible solutions in this region
• Solicit your ongoing participation in, and
shaping of, the planning process
• Solicit your input in helping identify and
refine feasible options to address needs
ATC Transmission
Planning Philosophies
• Adequate Infrastructure
– To support load growth and system utilization
• Reliable Service
• Interconnection
– Generators, loads, and other transmission systems
• Access
– To a competitive energy market
• Collaboration
• Timeliness of project efforts
ATC Planning Bases
•
•
•
•
Individual Load/Generator
Zone
ATC System Wide
US Regional/National
• Consolidate resolution of needs into
cohesive overall plan
Process to Date – Ten Year
Transmission System Assessment
• Covers years 2001-2010
• Identifies needs, limitations, and violations of
planning criteria
• Lists solutions to certain needs, limitations, and
violations
– Projects within existing substations
– Projects within existing right-of-way
– Near term transmission projects
• Other solutions to be defined after public
discussion
• Initial assessment published June 1, 2001
Process to Date-Ten Year
Assessment Logistics
• Developed system performance criteria
• Developed logical “planning zones”
– Facilitates development of projects that serve multiple
purposes and resolve multiple issues
– Umbrella plans – phased approaches to needs resolution
– Allows for more focused public discussions
• Evaluated peak system usage scenarios
• Included proposed new generation that had been
announced or for which applications had been
filed

Introduction
• Introduced public planning process concepts
–
–
–
–
Identification and discussion of needs and possible solutions
Importance of your input
Evolutionary process
Iterative process
(Needs, Assessment, Input, Analysis, Plan Design, Input) - Repeat
– Desire for coordination with you and your processes
– Commitments to treat affected landowners fairly and to mitigate
the environmental impact of construction, maintenance, and
operation activities
• Introduced and offered initial report for your review
• Announced upcoming Planning Zone Meetings for more
focused discussion
Transmission Network
Concepts
• Transmission lines are the highways and
interstates of the electric system
• Transmission system connects power plants
to electric distribution systems
• Distribution systems serve the customers –
the cul-de-sacs of the electric system
• Transmission systems – high voltage –
69,000 volt to 345,000 volt
• Distribution systems – lower voltage –
46,000 volt down to 120 volt
Transmission Network
Concepts, continued
• Distribution systems are typically “radial”
systems – loss of a distribution line results
in interruption of service to customers
• Transmission systems are networks –
designed so that loss of a transmission line
results in no interruption of service to
customers
• Extensive transmission system failures can
cause widespread interruption of service
