  • DRAFT 2016-2017 Transmission Plan Thank You for Your Participation in the ISO Transmission Planning Process, and Your Review of This Draft Transmission Plan
    Forward to DRAFT 2016-2017 Transmission Plan Thank you for your participation in the ISO transmission planning process, and your review of this draft transmission plan. The draft transmission plan represents the ISO’s current thinking on system needs over the next 10-years and is an opportunity for stakeholder input before final recommendations are advanced to the ISO Board of Governors in March. In reviewing the draft transmission plan, it is important to remember that the draft transmission plan is structured and written as a draft and not as a discussion document. Consequently, it is written in the same format and tone as the final transmission plan though it is open to change based on stakeholder input and new information as we move to finalizing the plan in March. The ISO’s objective each year is to provide a comprehensive review and assessment of the ISO transmission grid needs and draft recommendations on all decisions we expect to make in the course of the planning cycle. Stakeholders may note one change to the organizational structure of 2016-2017 Transmission Plan compared to other recent transmission plans. In other recent transmission plans, the local capacity requirements studies were included in a chapter labeled “Special Reliability Studies and Results”, and over time, other special studies were added to that chapter. As the use of the phrase “special studies” has evolved to apply to the optional studies the ISO has been undertaking in various planning cycles to help address emerging issues, including the local capacity studies in that chapter no longer not set the right context for the local capacity studies.

  • Just the Facts Alaska Gas Transmission Company.Qxd
    JUST THE FACTS Alaska Gas Transmission Company Project Overview MidAmerican Energy Holdings Company and its subsidiary Alaska Gas Transmission Company applied to the State of Alaska Department of Revenue on Jan. 22, 2004, for approval under the Alaska Stranded Gas Development Act to facilitate the transportation of stranded Alaskan natural gas. On Jan. 28, 2004, the Alaska Commissioner of Revenue notified Alaska Gas and its sponsor group the appli- cation conformed to the require- ments of the state's Stranded Gas Act and was accepted. Applications approved under the Stranded Gas Act allow the state to negotiate with qualified spon- sors on fiscal terms, such as taxes and royalty adjustments, and other pertinent terms with respect to development of a natural gas transportation project. Alaska Gas is a subsidiary of MidAmerican Energy Holdings Company, a Berkshire Hathaway affiliate. Other members of the project's sponsor group include: • Cook Inlet Region, Inc., an Alaska native corporation; and • Pacific Star Energy, LLC, a consortium including Alaska native corporations. Project Description Alaska Gas proposes to facilitate the development of stranded Alaskan natural gas with the construction of a 48-inch diameter high-pressure natural gas pipeline from the North Slope area near Prudhoe Bay to the Alaska-Yukon border near Beaver Creek. At the Alaska-Yukon border, the pipeline will interconnect with a new, companion pipeline in Canada. This line will be built either by TransCanada, through its Foothills Pipe Lines Ltd. subsidiary, or others. The new pipeline could be an extension of the existing Foothills prebuild pipeline or may be developed by other entities.
