VIII. Standard Table of Reduction Measures

ORA proposes that utilities clearly state the mitigation alternatives they are considering for transmission and substation projects. ORA's proposal for transmission line and substation projects would include a standardized table summarizing the estimated costs and reasons for adoption or rejection of the EMF mitigation alternatives, thus providing a simpler and more transparent evaluation. Utilities also support this proposal.

We agree such a table is useful in evaluating new transmission and substation projects. Although no party provided an outline of the format for a standardized table, we direct the utilities to provide this table as part of the utility workshop ordered below, and submit this as part of the revised utility design guidelines.
