  h4. +Key Transmission Projects in the Great Lakes Region and Beyond: Connecting Wind Resources+
  
Wednesday, June 27, 2012
  
Connecting wind projects to the grid is a critical component of the wind energy industry and can often bring challenges and roadblocks. This webinar spotlighted key transmission projects in the Great Lakes region, summarized progress to date and challenges that have been overcome, and highlighted the transmission capacity these projects will provide for wind power projects throughout the region and beyond.

 Tuesday, February 8, 2011
  
 Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS), passed by most of the Midwest ISO member states, mandate that significant amounts of statewide electrical energy come from renewable sources. Midwest ISO recognized that implementing these RPS, and meeting an objective function of achieving the lowest delivered dollar per MWh cost, requires a reliability and economics based regional transmission solution.&nbsp;&nbsp;To develop this solution, Midwest ISO, with the assistance of state regulators and industry stakeholders, conducted the Regional Generator Outlet Study (RGOS).&nbsp;&nbsp;This multi-year study culminated in the identification of three regional transmission scenarios that enable the renewable mandates and goals of the states within the Midwest ISO footprint.&nbsp;&nbsp;This webinar&nbsp;focused upon the RGOS study, its key results, and the next steps towards realizing a regional transmission plan to meet policy objectives.

 h4. +Cost Allocation Webinar+
  
 Monday, October 25, 2010
  
 This webinar consisted of&nbsp;a two hour discussion on transmission cost allocation, particularly as it pertains to the connection of wind energy facilities to the grid. Constraints in current grid capacity have necessitated advance planning in order to meet rising electricity demands and the interconnection needs of alternative forms of energy. Representatives from the major transmission organizations in the Great Lakes region provided an overview of their respective cost allocation processes and plans for future changes.&nbsp;This&nbsp;Webinar was moderated by by&nbsp;workgroup chair John Osinski of the New York Power Authority, and John Hummer and Julie Hinderer of the Great Lakes Commission.

 Thursday, May 13, 2010
 The Eastern Wind Integration and Transmission Study (EWITS) is a two-and-a-half-year technical study of future high-penetration wind scenarios that was designed to analyze the economic, operational and technical implications of shifting 20% or more of the Eastern Interconnection's electrical load to wind by 2024. The study identified operational best practices and analyzed wind resources, future wind deployment scenarios and transmission&nbsp; options. This GLWC webinar focused on what the results of EWITS means for the Great Lakes region. The webinar was co-presented by Matthew J. Schuerger, P.E. of Energy Systems Consulting Services, LLC and Bob Zavidil of EnerNex.
