Wires' New Study Measures Life-Cycle Benefits of Transmission Investment
January 10, 2018 -- WIRES today (1/9) published a new white paper by economists at London Economics International (LEI) that demonstrates how the diverse benefits of transmission investment that consumers receive during a transmission line's useful life can be quantified. LEI modeled and analyzed the economic and societal benefits of two projects that are indicative of the types of interregional transmission that will be needed to sustain the highly electrified economy of the future.
LEI's methodology is a guide for planners, policy makers, regulators and energy companies seeking to identify the wide-ranging benefits that an integrated grid will deliver to diverse and geographically dispersed energy markets.
WIRES is an international non-profit trade association of investor-, publicly-, and cooperatively-owned transmission providers, transmission customers, regional grid managers, and equipment and service companies. WIRES promotes investment in electric transmission and progressive state and federal policies that advance energy markets, economic efficiency, and consumer and environmental benefits through development of electric power infrastructure.
