States must prioritize transmission modernization and expansion to ensure a reliable, affordable, and resilient energy future, but much of the transmission grid is regulated at the regional and federal levels. It’s important that states are able to engage with other stakeholders to maneuver the regional transmission landscape and ensure regional planning meets state-level climate and energy needs.

For this webinar in our Transmission Series, we’ll examine a case study of one region’s transmission planning: the electric grid operator for the central United States, MISO. We’ve invited a panel of experts to explore lessons learned from MISO’s Long Range Transmission Planning process, including how states can leverage their power, best practices for effective engagement with other regional stakeholders, and what has (and hasn’t) worked for state advocates.

Our expert panel includes:

• Matt Prorok, Policy Director, Energy Systems at the Great Plains Institute
• Benjamin Stafford, Senior Policy Manager, Energy Systems at the Great Plains Institute
• Beth Soholt, Executive Director of the Clean Grid Alliance
• Andy Kowalczyk, Transmission Director at the Southern Renewable Energy Association
