RTPS WORKGROUPS TPC | TPC-SS



The RTPS program supports the Transmission Planning Committee (TPC) and the associated TPC Special Studies.  The planners at participating utilities benefit through the TPC by having a forum, outside of the umbrella of compliance, through which they discuss new and upcoming compliance requirements, changes to technology, new technologies, and any other myriad of topics that generally support the transmission planning community.  The TPC also allows for individual or regional studies to be performed.
