Session 2: Key Industry Challenges“If you love wind,
you have to at least like transmission”
Beth SoholtExecutive DirectorWind on the Wires
Presentation Outline
• Wind on the Wires (“WOW”) background
• Midwest Independent System Operator (regional “grid” operator)
• What’s driving renewable energy in the Midwest (and therefore the need for additional transmission)?
• Update on wind power installations
• Transmission Studies underway
• WOW participation in transmission line cases and lessons learned
• On-going Challenges for Wind Power and Transmission
• Conclusion
Background on Wind on the Wires• Organized in 2001 to overcome the barriers to bringing wind power to
market in the Midwest.
• Members include non-profit advocacy organizations, American Indian tribal representatives, wind developers and manufacturers, American Wind Energy Association, businesses that provide goods and services to the wind industry.
• Work in 3 areas: – Technical – work with electric utilities and Midwest Independent
System Operator (MISO – regional “grid” operator) on transmission planning for wind, market and operational rules that treat wind fairly
– Regulatory – actively participate in cases where states are approving new transmission lines that will access wind power
– Policy education/outreach/advocacy – work with governors, state regulators, legislators, local elected officials, regional groups, colleague organizations, general public on wind and transmission issues
• Support – Foundation grants and member contributions

Transmission Studies• State driven transmission study efforts
– Minnesota Renewable Energy Standard (MN RES) Transmission Studies– Michigan Wind Energy Transmission Study
• Sub-regional group studies by utilities and the Midwest ISO– CapX 2020 Initiative– American Transmission Company (Wisconsin)– Midwest ISO Regional Generator Outlet Study – Phase I and II
• Multi-state transmission regulatory efforts– Upper Midwest Transmission Development Initiative– Organization of Midwest ISO States
• Midwest ISO footprint wide studies– MISO Transmission Expansion Plan ’08 and ‘09
• Inter-regional studies– Joint Coordinated Transmission Plan– Eastern Wind Integration and Wind Transmission Study

*Xcel Energy Certificate of Need, Minnesota Public Utilities Commission Decision 1/30/03
Minnesota Public Utilities Commission (PUC) Order:Certificates of Need Subject to Conditions
• 2007 in-service date for new facilities • Xcel Energy (utility company) purchase 825 MW of
wind-generated electricity, including 60 MW of small, locally owned wind power
• Xcel Energy, within 15 days of obtaining CONs, make transmission service requests for network (firm) service to the Midwest ISO for 825 MW of wind
• Xcel Energy designate new wind generators as network resources
• Xcel Energy report to MN PUC any regulatory developments at regional or federal level that could affect the conditions placed on the Certificates of Need

On-Going Challenges for Wind Power and Transmission
• Best wind resources are located far from load; agreement on what transmission should be built
• Transmission studies that are properly scoped and completed on schedule; studies must then successfully move through the regulatory stage and into construction
• Cost allocation – who pays for new transmission?• Fair Market and operational “rules of the road” – must
accommodate and not penalize intermittent resources like wind power
• Wind Integration issues – these issues show up in transmission planning, the energy market and operations
• Siting/routing new transmission lines
ConclusionGoal: Steel in the ground and wires in the air!• Bring constructive, credible technical resources into the
transmission planning arena that can partner with renewable energy advocacy efforts
• Active participation in regulatory cases to support new transmission lines
• Educating colleague organizations on why transmission is needed to achieve environmental/climate change/policy goals
• Find and support unlikely champions• Early and often involvement with communities and other
stakeholders
