Transmission Policy
These fact sheets explain FERC transmission policies that support investment in the nation's electric grid. Covering topics such as Construction Work in Progress (CWIP), the RTO Participation Incentive, and the Abandoned Plant Incentive, each one-pager examines how these regulatory mechanisms can reduce financing costs, manage investment risk, encourage regional transmission development, and help deliver reliable, affordable electric service. Designed for policymakers, regulators, journalists, and stakeholders, these resources provide clear explanations of how transmission policy affects infrastructure investment and customer value.
Transmission & Consumer Issues
These fact sheets explore the relationship between transmission infrastructure and issues that matter to electricity customers, businesses, communities, and policymakers. Topics include understanding the transmission portion of a typical electric bill, the connection between transmission investment and affordability, the impact of large electricity loads, grid reliability, congestion costs, and economic growth. Written for a broad audience, these resources explain how a modern transmission system helps improve grid reliability and resilience, support economic growth, and can lower overall system costs by connecting to the most efficient sources of power.
