The National Council on Electricity Policy (NCEP) has released a new resource library developed by NCEP member organizations to provide access to key transmission-specific information for use by state entities engaged in electricity system policy, planning, and regulation. 📚 “The Transmission Resource Library reflects the collaborative efforts of NCEP member organizations to make high-quality transmission resources more accessible to state entities working in the electricity sector,” said NARUC Senior Policy Advisor Hyleah O’Quinn. “By bringing together decades of research, technical expertise and educational materials in a single location, this library provides a valuable starting point to navigating the increasingly complex transmission landscape.” Read the press release: bit.ly/4e0Q7hV.

⚡ The National Council on Electricity Policy has released a new mini guide exploring the overlapping and varying roles of public utility commissions and consumer advocates, engagement between the two entities, and ideas for how their relationships can be strengthened based on firsthand experiences from PUCs and CAs: bit.ly/4fzN1T2. Key takeaways include that strong collaboration between PUCs and CAs depends on trust, transparent communication, sufficient staffing and expertise, and a clear understanding of their distinct but complementary jobs in balancing customer and utility interests.

📈 Amid unprecedented load growth, public utility commissions require new tools to support improved load forecasting accuracy. To help address this need, NARUC has released a new report that explores how large load tariff provisions, including minimum demand obligations, collateral requirements, phased load ramps, and eligibility thresholds, can help commissions better assess forecasting risk, avoid stranded costs, and support reliable infrastructure planning. The paper also introduces a practical four-part framework for translating tariff design into stronger load forecast assumptions, sensitivity analyses, and ongoing forecast updates. 💡 Read the report now: bit.ly/49cRXtb. #loadgrowth #datacenters #largeloadtariffs #tariffdesign
