EPE is pleased to share the release of a new Energy Systems Integration Group (ESIG) report, Modernizing Transmission Planning: Integrating Silos to Deliver Multi-Driver, Multi-Value Outcomes, led by Ahmed Rashwan and Drew Siebenaler, together with James Okullo of ESIG.
Planning teams are currently facing growing pressure to act faster amid rising demand, new load centers, changing resources, and extreme weather. Yet transmission planning remains fragmented across several planning areas. ESIG’s report takes a detailed look at these challenges, introducing the “integrate, broaden, deepen” approach that links proven methods to deliver the greatest value for a stronger, more resilient grid.
“The guidance given in this report connects studies that utilities and system operators already run, so projects are scoped once to meet multiple needs," said Rashwan, Senior Director of Transmission Planning and Operations. "This delivers clear gains: less congestion, faster interconnection, coordinated portfolios, and right-sized replacements.”
This work reflects EPE’s commitment to supporting the industry as planning processes adapt to a changing energy landscape.
