Southwest Intertie Project-North (SWIP-N)
FERC granted Great Basin Transmission’s request for incentives and a transmission owner tariff for its SWIP-North line – rejecting arguments that the project no longer makes sense with the cancellation of the Lava Ridge wind farm.
California should have plenty of electricity available to meet demand over the next few years, even during extreme weather events or if new energy resource installations are delayed, a California Energy Commission report said.
FERC denied LS Power’s two petitions for recovery of costs in case the development of a 285-mile transmission line is abandoned, saying the developer failed to adequately show the project’s benefits.
FERC approved an agreement between CAISO and LS Power to develop a transmission line that would deliver Idaho wind power into California and could help secure Idaho Power’s participation in the ISO’s Extended Day-Ahead-Market.
The CAISO Board of Governors unanimously approved changes to the Southwest Intertie Project-North, a 285-mile, 500-kV line in Nevada that would enable access to Idaho wind resources, despite opposition from Gem State residents.
Under the Coordinated Interagency Authorizations and Permits program, DOE will lead permitting transmission projects and coordinate environmental and permitting processes between federal agencies.
