He listed key elements as the changing resource mix and customer demand as well as advanced transmission tech and the benefits and beneficiaries of planned transmission facilities. His statement (in letter form) is in response to an October letter urging FERC to strengthen its proposed regional transmission planning and cost allocation rule.
