The Scenario Planning Steering Group (SPSG) formed the Environmental Data Task Force (EDTF) in June 2010 to develop recommendations on the type, quality, and sources of data on land, wildlife, cultural, historical, archaeological, and water resources, exploring ways to transform that data into a form usable in WECC’s study cases and 10-year and long-term planning models.
On May 6, 2011, the EDTF delivered the document entitled “Environmental Recommendations for Transmission Planning” as its final report on the initial phase of its work. This report was approved by the SPSG and included as an appendix in the WECC 2011 10-Year Regional Transmission Plan. The Environmental Recommendations for Transmission Planning and the EDTF Scope of Work guide the EDTF’s ongoing activities.
The EDTF, as a task force designated by the SPSG, provides recommendations to the SPSG for the SPSG’s review and consideration. The initial membership of the EDTF is posted below. For further information, please see the EDTF Frequently Asked Questions.
