SUMMARY:MGA MID-GRID 2035 – Quarterly Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Since the start of the MID-GRID 2035 effort in late 2019\, the Midwest has made considerable progress toward the vision outlined by the states. Regional and interregional transmission planning is taking place at a scale not before contemplated\, and new generation investments have provided economic development and other benefits. Simultaneously\, the region has dealt with multiple major weather events\, grid reliability challenges\, increasing costs due to global economic turmoil and record inflation\, and an increasing rate of generation retirements.As we look back at where MID-GRID 2035 began and now toward where this work will go\, the nature of the challenges and opportunities ahead has shifted and this event will set the stage for what we hope to tackle in MID-GRID 2035 2.0.More information can be found here.

SUMMARY:MGA MID-GRID 2035 – Converter Stations
DESCRIPTION:The MGA will host Roger Rosenqvist\, Vice President of Business Development for Hitachi Energy’s HVDC Division in North America for a webinar about converter stations. High-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission technology has not been deployed widely in the Midwest\, compared to alternating current (AC) transmission. This is in part because the equipment needed to manage a DC grid\, and to connect the DC and AC grids\, has been prohibitively expensive. Today\, HVDC technology is gaining traction around the world as power system are modernized and decarbonized. Technological improvements and cost declines in DC-AC converter stations have helped spur deployment. During this webinar\, participants will hear from one of the industry’s leading manufacturers of converter stations on the capabilities these assets can offer and how those capabilities can address emerging reliability needs and be part of an optimized transmission grid that meets the MID GRID 2035 vision. \n\n\nWatch Recording

SUMMARY:MGA MID-GRID 2035 – FERC Update Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Liz Salerno\, Lead\, Transmission and Technology Initiatives for Chairman Glick\, FERC provided an update on Transmission related topics at FERC. Since we heard from Chairman Glick at last year’s MGA-OMS Transmission Summit\, the FERC-NARUC task force has meet multiple times\, FERC’s transmission planning NOPR has received comments from stakeholders\, and FERC has issues even more proposed rules related to transmission planning and interconnection\, just to name of few of the things that FERC has going on that is impacting transmission. \n\n\nWatch the Recording
