Workshop Notice - I.08-03-010 Order Instituting Investigation on the Commission's Own Motion to actively promote the development of transmission infrastructure to provide access to renewable energy resources for California; R.08-03-009 Order Instituting Rulemaking on the Commission's Own Motion to actively promote the development of transmission infrastructure to provide access to renewable energy resources for California.
January 22, 2009 |
California Public Utilities Commission |
The CPUC is seeking to hold a workshop that investigates the development and utilization of technologies and techniques in reducing the environmental footprint of transmission lines. The aim is to gain an understanding of what is available, understand the process by which utilities adopt new technologies, and the constraints that face the adoption of new technologies.
We specifically want to address methods and technology that will make transmission lines more acceptable in their location. The aim is to discuss the facilitation of methods and technologies that result in lower visual and physical presence or requires less disturbance in the construction of transmission projects.
Some key questions we are seeking to address:
How can new technologies be used to reduce impact, streamline siting and mitigate environmental impact.
What is available now? What are the next technologies? How close are they to market development?
What are the barriers to the utilities using the new technologies?
What are the technical constraints?
What are the economic constraints?
It has been 3 years since the last CPUC workshop on transmission technology, so it would be appropriate to revisit the subject and assess progress in development and implementation of so many promising technologies.
The workshop will be facilitated by the Commission's Energy Division staff. If you are a Utility, Vendor or Researcher then we are seeking your contribution to the workshop. For more information please contact Iain Fisher - CPUC :
aei@cpuc.ca.gov Tel: 415 355 5580.
