GTC-EPRI Transmission Line Siting

What they are saying - testimonials

“The Kentucky Public Service Commission applauded East Kentucky Power Cooperative for employing EPRI-GTC's objective methodology. GTC was generous with its time in helping us implement the methodology and customize it for Kentucky projects. The methodology provides a regimen and analytical tool for using informed, proactive and constructive input from stakeholders. We are pleased GTC and EPRI have taken the lead in developing a standardized siting methodology that is open and transparent, helps utility professionals make more informed decisions based on more comprehensive data and addresses public and regulatory concerns in measurable and meaningful ways.”

“We applaud East Kentucky's efforts to employ a more objective method of siting than it has employed in the past.”

Kentucky Public Service Commission

“This methodology requires us to determine values for each man-made and natural condition, and rank potential impacts. As part of the process, the many judgments we make are quantified and documented. In the end, this kind of analysis helps make the siting practice and decisions more consistent.”

“As we build more transmission lines to keep up with demand, our decisions are exposed to legal and public scrutiny. This effort gives us more confidence, knowing our decisions are based on solid, standard rationale.”
