FERC Signals New Flexibility in OK of Rates for Renewable Energy Transmission Projects

Feb 23, 2009 4:20 PM
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has approved rates for two innovative transmission projects that will deliver wind-generated electricity from Montana and Wyoming to consumers in Nevada and other Southwestern states.

Approval of the rates for Chinook Power Transmission, LLC (Chinook) and Zephyr Power Transmission, LLC (Zephyr) for their 1,000-mile projects from wind farms in the Northern Rocky Mountains to a point near Las Vegas, Nev., marks a new flexibility in FERC policy directed at merchant transmission projects.

Am I thinking correctly that loss (over 1000 miles) will exceed 60% when all the wind turbines are producing at max safe output, unless these will be HVDC = high voltage direct current power lines, with about 20% loss, almost independent of load current?   Neil

Where are you getting the 60% power loss from?
