We all acknowledge the need for more well-planned long-range transmission and understand that the lengthy siting and permitting process is one major barrier. With a focus on projects in the West, this session will dig into transmission permitting barriers, highlight environmental stewardship and ways we can overcome obstacles, and present lessons learned from success stories of projects nearing construction.
