Local, Sub-Regional, and Regional Transmission Planning

Through its participation and membership in in the Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC) and NorthernGrid, Tacoma Power is involved in the coordinated planning processes of the Western Interconnection region and Pacific Northwest. Northern Grid is a single transmission planning association formed by Jurisdictional and non-jurisdictional entities to “facilitate regional transmission planning across the Pacific Northwest and Intermountain West.” Tacoma Power conducts transmission planning for service under its OATT through the planning process as outlined in Attachment K.
