Economic planning
ATC utilizes three methods to determine which projects have the potential for economic benefits:
- Stakeholder Input and Analyses
- Reliability Project Screening
- Congestion Severity Index
These methods are described below.
Stakeholder Input and Analyses
In Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) Order 890-A took effect. As part of this order, FERC requires a coordinated, open, and transparent transmission planning process on both a local and regional level. To comply with these requirements, ATC submitted a compliance filing on Order 890-A that provides a timeline of actions to ensure that the economic planning process is both coordinated and open. ATC has also submitted a compliance filing on Order 1000 that incorporates public policy requirement needs into its economic planning analysis
Annually, ATC will use a process with consistent timelines that combines stakeholder input, historical data, future line flow forecasts, and updated information on the electric system to identify transmission upgrades for economic evaluation.
Each year:
- During February, we hold an initial stakeholder meeting to review the market congestion summary and potential fixes and to discuss economic study scenarios, drivers, ranges, and assumptions.
- By March 1, we work with stakeholders to request and prioritize new/other economic studies and recommend study assumptions.
- By April 15 – we identify preliminary areas of economic study, study assumptions and models and solicit further comments from stakeholders, including soliciting stakeholders for public policy requirements that drive transmission needs.
- By May 15 – we finalize areas of economic study, study assumptions and models to be used in analysis, including a determination as to why or why not public policy requirements were included in the assumptions.
- By November 15 – we provide a summary of the results of the economic analyses to our stakeholders.
ATC conducts analyses of the projects identified for study over several months’ time and posts the key results, including the extent to which these savings offset project costs. When the expected benefits of a studied project are high enough to justify its costs, the process of developing it as a formal proposal is begun.
As a result of the 2013 ATC/stakeholder collaborative process, we are performing economic analyses on the following ATC facilities:
Economic Planning Study Areas
- Marquette – Mackinac 138 kV Project
- Butler – Bluemound 138 kV Project
Studies will be performed and results shared with stakeholders over the course of the year. In addition, customers and stakeholders who would like to request specific economic studies can do so if they are willing to pay for the studies and are willing to have the results posted publicly.
Reliability Project Screening
Economic analyses were performed on 23 projects from the 2012 10-Year Assessment project list to determine whether those projects were candidates for acceleration or deferral based on economic considerations. Please refer Table EP-1 for the list of projects screened. The list of 23 projects was based primarily on the availability of redispatch and capital costs of the projects; however, lower cost projects specifically identified by the ATC planning department were also included in the study. Generation interconnection and distribution interconnection projects were not eligible for inclusion in this list. Further, capacitor bank projects were not considered since the voltage benefits provided were not captured by the PROMOD software analysis. Finally, projects with in-service dates prior to 2015 were not considered since development of those projects was too far underway to make scheduling changes. As a result of this screening, two projects showed significant savings that offset costs. One project, the Arnold 2nd transformer showed significant savings, but could not be accelerated due to construction timelines. The other project that showed significant savings was the Wautoma 2nd transformer and will be studied further.
A similar analysis will be performed in the 2014 10-Year Assessment based upon the 2013 Assessment project list.

Congestion Severity Index
ATC developed a Congestion Severity Index for use as the screening indicator to track locations on the transmission system where constraints to the delivery of economic energy exist. The Congestion Severity Index combines the financial impact of constraints with the frequency of constraints. The financial impact during an hour is the calculated theoretical maximum number of dollars that could be paid into the market due to congestion on the constraint in question. The sum of the total financial impacts for each hour during which the constraint occurs forms the basis of the Congestion Severity Index. This information is used as a starting point in determining areas of the system where potential upgrades may be cost-effective. This data is combined with stakeholder input and ATC planning recommendations to identify a group of projects to study. A list of the most severe market constraints in the Day Ahead and Real Time markets for 2012 is given in Tables ZS-5 and ZS-6, respectively. Maps depicting the geographic locations of the most severe market constraints in the Day Ahead and Real Time markets for 2012 are shown in Figures ZS-27 and ZS-28, respectively.

2014 Meetings, Materials and Announcements
October 15, 2014 Stakeholder Meeting
ATC is planning to host a customer/stakeholder meeting on October 15, 2014, scheduled from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. (CDT), via web and teleconference. ATC will discuss a summary of the 2014 10-Year Assessment, as well as the 2015 10-Year Assessment Study Design. Please hold this date on your calendars if you plan to participate.
Additional meeting materials will be available for review on October 8th.
As a part of the 2015 10-Year Assessment Study Design discussion, ATC will review Public Policy Requirements* of which it is aware and also solicit information from stakeholders including federal, state, and local regulators regarding needs driven by Public Policy Requirements and potential Transmission Facilities to address those needs. ATC requests that stakeholders provide ATC with information regarding needs driven by Public Policy Requirements and/or potential Transmission Facilities to address those needs.
* As set forth in MISO Tariff Attachment FF-ATCLLC, “Public Policy Requirements” means “enacted statutes (i.e., passed by the legislature and signed by the executive) and regulations promulgated by a relevant jurisdiction, whether within a state or at the federal level, including duly enacted laws or regulations passed by a local governmental entity, such as a municipal or county government.”
Please indicate your participation plans by Monday, October 13th.
Plans to participate and any comments or inquiries can be sent to Ryan Solberg, Transmission Planning Engineer, at rsolberg@atcllc.com.

2013 Meetings, Materials and Announcements
November 15, 2013: ATC Economic Analysis Update
In open stakeholder meetings on February 26 and May 7, 2013, ATC collected input on study assumptions and the project list for analysis.

Another meeting was held September 26 to keep stakeholders updated on the current status of the 2013 economic planning study.
Since then ATC has continued to refine its study methods, develop analytical models, and study the projects listed. At this point, ATC is in the process of finalizing the analysis and will be able to discuss results in an open stakeholder meeting towards the beginning of 2014. The exact meeting date will be announced at a later time and meeting materials will be posted to the Economic Planning page of the ATC 10-Year Assessment website.

Public Policy Requirements are enacted statutes (i.e., passed by the legislature and signed by the executive) and regulations promulgated by a relevant jurisdiction, whether within a state or at the federal level, including duly enacted laws or regulations passed by a local governmental entity, such as a municipal or county government. Stakeholders are encouraged to provide ATC with Public Policy Requirements. ATC utilizes transmission needs driven by Public Policy Requirements in its assumptions when performing economic analysis of study areas. The transmission needs driven by Public Policy Requirements that will be included in ATC’s finalized assumptions will be posted prior to May 15th.
We look forward to your involvement in this process and appreciate your input and feedback as we proceed with our 2013 TYA and Economic Planning process. We will continue to work with you and plan to finalize our economic analysis plan and assumptions by May 15, 2013.
