The ERCOT RPG Meeting discusses updates to the Five-Year Transmission Plan (5YTP) with an emphasis on reliability analyses from 2011 to 2015, and the introduction of economic analysis for potential projects. Key projects for reliability and reactive support will be posted, alongside updated case studies including security-constrained AC cases. Assumptions for economic evaluation are critical, notably the impact of recent generation retirements and updated gas price assumptions. The next steps involve finalizing previous analyses and beginning new studies for 2015.
